Purpose

Purpose of this document is to maintain the list of Key Optimizer Bug fixes having fix control in disabled state starting 18.3 and above for every DBRU (Database Release Update) of 18c.

There are many optimizer bug fixes included into 18c base release as well as in every RU. Some of the Optimizer bug fixes (not all) are controlled by _FIX_CONTROL setting and are DISABLED by default in 18c when installed either through one-off backport or through RUs.

Example:

From 18c onwards those bug fixes having the fix control option tied to that are DISABLED by default to avoid any unforeseen issues for 18c Optimizer causing SQL regressions immediately after having applied the DBRU. The below document contains the list of Key Optimizer Bug fixes having fix control in disabled state starting 18.3 and above for every RUs of 18c.

 

Scope

Scope is limited to SQL Performance or Wrong Results related bug fixes having fix control in disabled state that are most popular. Some of the below may have multiple fix control modifications or have a different fix number than the bug number that will be needed to enable that fix, reference the Fix Control Modifications column for details.

(Please note that this will not show all bugs that have fix controls in disabled state this list is for the most popular bug fixes.)
