CURSOR_SHARING

PropertyDescription
Parameter type String
Syntax CURSOR_SHARING = { EXACT | FORCE }
Default value EXACT
Modifiable ALTER SESSIONALTER SYSTEM
Basic No

CURSOR_SHARING determines what kind of SQL statements can share the same cursors.

Values:

  • FORCE

    Allows the creation of a new cursor if sharing an existing cursor, or if the cursor plan is not optimal.

  • EXACT

    Only allows statements with identical text to share the same cursor.

    Notes:

    • If you set CURSOR_SHARING, then Oracle recommends the FORCE setting unless you are in a DSS environment.

    • The value of the CURSOR_SHARING parameter has performance implications. Refer to Oracle Database Performance Tuning Guide before setting this parameter.

cursor_sharing 参数有三个值可选,exact、similar、force。
如果参数值为 exact (Oracle默认方式),当一个 statement parse 的时候,首先到 shared pool 区查看是否有 exact statement 存在(就是看是否在shared pool中有和当前要解析的statement完全一样的语句存在),如果不存在,就执行hard parse;
如果参数值为 similar,那么如果在shared pool中无法找到exact statement的存在的时候,就会在shared pool进行一次新的查找,查找和当前要解析的语句是否是similar statement的语句。(similar statement就是除了value of some literal不同的语句,别的地方都相同的语句。)
当cursor_sharing设置为similar时,如果在shared pool中查找到这样的语句,就会做下一步的检查,看shared pool中缓存的这个语句的execution plan是否适合当前解析的语句,如果适合,就会使用shared pool的语句,而不去做hard parse。如果cursor_sharing设置为force的时候,当在shared pool中发现了similar statement之后,就不会再去检查执行计划了,而直接使用在shared pool的这个语句了。
将cursor_sharing设置为force实际上是危险的。这会可能形成sub optimal的执行计划。比如对于一个范围查找的语句,比如对于一个范围查找的语句,比如
select * from a where a>10 and a<20 这样类型的语句,缓存中的语句的执行计划可能对于正在解析的语句就是不适合的,不是最优的执行计划。
这样看起来是减少了parse恶的时间,但是大大增大了execution的时间。
测试数据:

SQL_TEXT                                      SQL_ID          VERSION_COUNT EXECUTIONS
--------------------------------------------- --------------- ------------- ----------
select count(*) from t1 where owner='SYS' 6n5pk8mynfa7w 1 1
select count(*) from t1 where owner='TEST' 4au4u0sr7kz2p 1 1
v$sqlarea中,version_count是指当前父游标(SQL文本)下的子游标个数,executions指执行次数。
从v$sqlarea的输出可知,字面量不同,会产生两个不同的父游标和子游标,即执行计划不会共享。
从下面执行计划看,这两个SQL产生的执行计划完全不同。
SQL> select * from table(dbms_xplan.display_cursor('6n5pk8mynfa7w',null,null));

--------------------------------------------- --------------- ------------- ----------
select count(*) from t1 where owner=:"SYS_B_0" gf0m7xnstru5z 2 2
从上面v$sqlarea输出结果可以看出,父游标共享(SQL_ID一样),子游标不同(version_count=2),一共执行两次。
从下面执行计划可以看出,因为子游标不同,虽然sql_id相同,但是仍然产生两个不同的执行计划。
SQL> select * from table(dbms_xplan.display_cursor('gf0m7xnstru5z',null,null));

  COUNT(*)

--------------------------------------------- --------------- ------------- ----------
select count(*) from t1 where owner=:"SYS_B_0 gf0m7xnstru5z 1 2
"
从上面v$sqlarea可以看出,父游标共享(sql_id相同),子游标共享(version_count=1),执行两次。
从下面执行计划可以看出,这两个SQL执行计划是一样的,可以认为是第一个SQL共享了第一个SQL的执行计划,也可以认为是绑定变量被窥测了。
其实这样是很危险的,如果第一个传入的值跟传入的第二个值选取的结果差别很大,那么执行效率将会有很大差别。一定要慎用。
SQL> select * from table(dbms_xplan.display_cursor('gf0m7xnstru5z',null,null));
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

cursor_sharing的取值和参数是Oracle library cache中管理生成乃至共享执行计划的重要参数。EXACT值是默认值,实现了直接使用字面SQL不开启转变绑定变量的功能。

而FORCE和SIMILAR取值却开启了字面转绑定变量的功能。在这两个模式下,Oracle会自动的将where后面的条件替换为绑定变量,以增加SQL共享的概率。具体实现sharing的方式上,FORCE和SIMILAR取值又有所差异。

FORCE的sharing原则是共享一切,只生成一个子游标,之后所有都去共享这个子游标的执行计划。随之而来的就是bind peeking问题风险。

而SIMILAR过于谨慎,对每一个SQL都进行类似bind peeking操作。对每个可能取值都生成单独的子游标执行计划。相同的输入共享相同的执行计划。这个虽然避免了bind peeking问题,却带来了新的多version count问题。
