Symptoms

DataPump import with NETWORK_LINK is being considered to migrate to a new database. But DataPump import is going slow while running a query for the estimation phase which tries to determine whether the table to be imported is empty or not.

Below query performs a full table scan which doubles the cost of DataPump import.

Changes

CURSOR_SHARING on the source site has been set to FORCE or SIMILAR.
