Oracle has made tremendous strides in the shared pool. As a result, for every problem a performance analyst is likely to encounter, there are a number of solutions. In fact, Oracle has taken this so seriously that some of the solutions can be invoked with an alter system or even an alter session command. In the coming years, I suspect we'll see even greater things occur in the shared pool.
