    1. Loop during Batch Explain processing.
    2. GLOBAL OWNER parameter is ignored as the PLAN_TABLE
       qualifier for Batch Explain processing.
    3. Batch Explain produces an empty report for SQL statements
       beginning with WITH or MERGE.
    

Problem conclusion

  • 1. Fixed a loop control issue which caused infinite processing
       of package versions.
    2. The GLOBAL OWNER parameter value is now applied as the
       PLAN_TABLE qualifier;
    3. The SQL type classification module changed to recognize
       WITH (Common Table Expression) or MERGE statements as
       explainable.
    
    KEYWORDS: EXPLAIN, GLOBAL, OWNER, PLAN_TABLE
