Cursor sharing and outlines If cursor_sharing = similar

When you create the outline, the stored SQL text is literally as supplied. When you run the statement, it is first rewritten to change any constants to things like ":SYS_B1" - so it no longer matches the text stored in the database.

You have to work to CAPTURE the outline if you want to use stored outlines with cursor_sharing enabled; or you have to work out / discover the actual text optimized, and "create stored outline" for that text.
If cursor_sharing = force

There are a number of articles that state that if cursor_sharing = force stored outlines do not work. This is just not true. Search for articles on the topic by Jonathan Lewis.

Object privileges GRANT create any outline TO <schema_name>;

Preparation Before creating a private outline, you must run the OUTLN_PKG.CREATE_EDIT_TABLES procedure to create the required outline tables and indexes in the schema.
