Multiple instances can have different values.

Values

  • MANUAL

    The ResultCache operator is added only when the query is annotated (that is, hints).

  • FORCE

    The ResultCache operator is added to the root of all SELECT statements (when it is valid to do so).

    For the FORCE setting, if the statement contains a NO_RESULT_CACHE hint, then the hint takes precedence over the parameter setting.

    Note:

    FORCE mode is not generally recommended because queries that call non-deterministic PL/SQL functions are cached, potentially causing material changes to the results. Enabling the result cache in such a broad-based manner can also impact performance in mixed workload environments, where the same tables are continuously updated and retrieved.
