一、Cursor_sharing简介：
这个参数是用来告诉Oracle在什么情况下可以共享游标，即SQL重用。
Cursor_sharing参数有3个值可以设置：
1)、EXACT：通常来说，exact值是Oracle推荐的，也是默认的，它要求SQL语句在完全相同时才会重用，否则会被重新执行硬解析操作。
2)、SIMILAR：similar是在Oracle认为某条SQL语句的谓词条件可能会影响到它的执行计划时，才会被重新分析，否则将重用SQL。
3)、FORCE：force是在任何情况下，无条件重用SQL。
备注：上面所说的SQL重用，仅仅是指谓词条件不同的SQL语句，实际上这样的SQL基本上都在执行同样的业务操作。
二、在Cursor_sharing参数值不同的时对SQL的影响：
2.1 创建实验环境：
----首先创建一张jack表----
1 SQL> create table jack (id int,name varchar2(10)); 2 3 Table created. 4 ----产生一些数据----
5 SQL> insert into jack values(1,'aa'); 6 7 1 row created. 8 9 SQL> insert into jack values(2,'bb'); 10 11 1 row created. 12 13 SQL> insert into jack values(3,'cc'); 14 15 1 row created. 16 17 SQL> insert into jack values(4,'dd'); 18 19 1 row created. 20 21 SQL> commit; 22 23 Commit complete. 24 25 SQL> select * from jack; 26 27 ID NAME 28 ---------- ---------- 29 1 aa 30 2 bb 31 3 cc 32 4 dd 33 ----创建下面实验将要用到的三张表----
34 SQL> create table jack_exact as select * from jack; 35 36 Table created. 37 38 SQL> create table jack_similar as select * from jack; 39 40 Table created. 41 42 SQL> create table jack_force as select * from jack; 43 44 Table created. 45 ----查看该session的trace文件的路径----
46 SQL> @/u01/scripts/showtrace 47 48 trace_file_name 49 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 50 /u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/yft/yft/trace/yft_ora_5329.trc
2.2 cursor_sharing=exact的情况：
----将cursor_sharing设置为exact----总结：当cursor_sharing=exact时，只有当SQL语句是完全一样的情况下才能被重用。
1 SQL> alter session set cursor_sharing=exact; 2 3 Session altered. 4 5 SQL> alter session set sql_trace=true; 6 7 Session altered. 8 9 SQL> select * from jack_exact where id=1; 10 11 ID NAME 12 ---------- ---------- 13 1 aa 14 15 SQL> select * from jack_exact where id=3; 16 17 ID NAME 18 ---------- ---------- 19 3 cc 20
21 SQL> select * from jack_exact where id=1; 22 23 ID NAME 24 ---------- ---------- 25 1 aa 26 27 SQL> alter session set sql_trace=false; 28 29 Session altered. 30 ----从下面的查询可以看出执行了两次硬解析----

对于SIMILAR的情况，如果CBO发现被绑定变量的谓词还有其他的执行计划可以选择时，如果谓词条件的值有变化，就将会产生一个新的子游标，而不是重用之前的SQL；如果谓词没有其他的执行计划可选择，则忽略谓词的值，重用之前的SQL。
上面的例子还不能足以说明该情况，接着下面的模拟：
----清楚一下shared_pool中的内容，否则会影响后面的输出----

----虽然name的值发生了改变，但是id的值没有发生变，而id上有索引的，name上没有索引，CBO认为这样的情况不会改变SQL的执行计划。

总结：force是在任何情况下，无条件重用SQL。
三、总结：
FORCE和SIMIALR最大的区别在于，FORCE会把所有的谓词用变量代替，并且不管变量的值如何，一律重用第一条SQL语句，而SIMILAR会根据谓词的不同，来重新选择SQL的执行计划。
如果一个系统，它存在变量绑定的问题，并且这种问题已经影响到了系统的性能，这时候可以考虑将参数cursor_sharing的值设置为SIMILAR或FORCE来改善这种局面，不过在改成SIMILAR或FORCE都可能带来一些Bug以及很多未知的东西，所以需要慎用。
最后需要说明一点，对于OLTP系统，如果绑定变量情况不好的话，也许可以考虑通过设置这个参数来缓解一下问题；对于是在OLAP系统上，这个参数应该设置成EXACT，并且不应该使用绑定变量，因为在OLAP系统中，SQL的解析对于SQL的执行来看，话费的代价几乎可以忽略，而正确的SQL执行计划才是OLAP数据库最需要关注的。
