Use Sql Patch to adding hint hint_text => 'CURSOR_SHARING_FORCE'

edited Apr 24, 2026 12:51PM in Database Administration (MOSC) 4 commentsAnswered

Hi all,

Since we are experiencing frequent hard parsing issues, and we prefer not to change the cursor_sharing parameter in the database (which is currently set to EXACT), we have decided to apply a hint (hint_text => 'CURSOR_SHARING_FORCE') to specific queries using SQL Patch.

Could you please let us know whether such a hint exists and how feasible this approach is?


BR,

David
