ERStudio performance with Oracle 12c
Is there anyone using Embarcadero's ERStudio Data Architect with Oracle 12c and noticed that the performance of reverse-engineering a database (e.g. in the Compare & Merge utility - 'compare with live database') is a lot worse in 12c compared to 11g?
I've done a lot of benchmarking and I've found that gathering dictionary stats and switching off optimizer_adaptive_features helps a lot but its still nowhere near as fast as 11g. I think the problem is partly ERStudio which uses literals in the SQL it submits so every query gets re-parsed (once for each table in your data model) but a large part of the performance problem seems to the 12c data dictionary because I get similar results just using raw SQL queries (of varying size/complexity).
