use of bind variables with the oracle db - to improve library cache perform
mquaidMay 29 2003 — edited Jun 2 2003
Dear Friends,
We are using oracle 9.0.1.1.1 db server - the performance of the db was pathetic and upon investigation it was revealed that the library cache was over loaded with sql hard parses generated by not using bind variables. We are using vb as a front end with oracle and our connection object in vb is created using ole db for oracle provided by oracle (installed from oracle client custom - programmer option).
I would appreciate if any body can tell how can we use bind variables in vb to connect to oracle such that the hard parses can be changed into soft parses.
Your effort to bring some peace in my life is worth comendable and I would be very obliged for your time and help.
Thanks a lot.
Bye
Take care.
