Question about turning baseline off and on in Oracle 11.2.0.4
We recently upgraded to Oracle 11.2.0.4 for our Campus Solutions 9.0 database and we have a refund job that is running slower than it normally does after the upgrade. Our DBA is suggesting that we turn off baseline (parameter?) while running the refunds and then turning it back on again and then rebuild some indexes for the tables called by the job.
It seems to me that we should not have to do temporary things like this to our database to make it perform well. Is there something else we can do?
The job normally runs in fifteen minutes, but in the new database with baseline on it runs in 1 hour. If we turn baseline off, it runs in 13 minutes in our QA environment.
