JDBC automatical query turned to be very slow

Question

I am maintaining an application creating an Oracle DB via JDBC. Starting from today this query:

SELECT  NULL                                                   AS         


        

Answer 1

here is another more graceful solution.. I found that forcing the rule base optimizer with a sql patch also works.. 2 patches are necessary because sometimes the jdbc driver uses :1 and :3 as bind variables and sometimes it uses :2 & :4.. The SQL must match exactly for the patch to work.

run this in your database as sysdba..

    begin 
        dbms_sqldiag_internal.i_create_patch ( 
      sql_text =>'SELECT NULL AS pktable_cat,
        p.owner as pktable_schem, p.table_name as pktable_name, 
        pc.column_name as pkcolumn_name, NULL as fktable_cat, f.owner as
