There are times when the combination of shared pool size, Oracle release (pre-Oracle 9i), and application usage will leave the DBA with no choice but to plan periodic shared pool flushes. That is simply the reality of the situation.

As the following code snippet shows, flushing the shared pool is very simple, yet the effect is indeed significant.

One of the easiest, most powerful, and most appropriate shared pool latching solutions is to simply add subpools, which will also add shared pool latches. The process is detailed in the earlier "From Hashing to Subpools" section.
