Today's gotcha: NB: PLAN_HASH_VALUE on DBA_SQL_QUARANTINE is the adaptive plan hash value (with all of its possible plan alternatives), and therefore it matches SQL_FULL_PLAN_HASH_VALUE in the ASH data, and not SQL_PLAN_HASH_VALUE (the plan that actually executed)! 🤦‍♂️

You may or may not have seen it but a good part of the tech community, especially dealing with Oracle technology or tech generally, has moved on now. And actually I did just the same. So, The Sky is Blue from now on! What does it mean? I use so-called social media for two reasons mostly. At first, I would like to stay in touch with friends, colleagues and customers.
