The following question came up on the comp.databases.oracle.server newsgroup a little while ago:
What is the interpretation of the following:
- Misses in library cache during parse
- (Misses while looking for plan in library cache–Hard parse)
- Misses in library cache during execute
- (Misses while about to execute the plan and found it missing/invalid in library cache)
call count cpu elapsed disk query current rows
