Hello,
    We are moving an app from 10.2 to 11.2.0.3.
As recommended by the vendor, the cursor_sharing parameter was set to "force".
From what I understand, this should enable "adaptive cursor sharing".
In 10.2,  cursor_sharing was set to "similar".
    After the move to 11g, we experienced issues with several queries, where 
perfromance would vary
dramatically. It appeared the optimizer would choose a good plan, and next
time would choose a poor plan. In most cases, it did not revert back to the 
good plan.

    We decided to set cursor sharing to "exact". Once we did that, we 
experienced
consistently good performance from these queries, and overall good performance.
For now, we plan to leave cursor sharing to "exact".

    What kind of performance have  you seen with ACS ? Anything similar to us ?

    Thanks for your time.
