在MOS 上有一篇介绍SQL 解析流程图的文档，参考[ID32895.1]。 截取主要部分内容如下：
Thisarticle show the parsing mechanism as a flow diagram. Its main purpose is toshow the difference between a 'soft' and a 'hard' parse. It is intended to givea feel of how parsing operates to make explanation of parsing activity easier.
注意事项：
1. A cursor is an address on the client that points tothe memory location of a SQL statement on the server. Multiple-client cursors may point at the same address on the server.
2. Remember that 'Client' and'Server' sides may reside on the same machine - in which caseClient/Server is a logical distinction.
3. If a cursor is open, then thestatement will be in the sql_area, so no parsing is necessary. This iswhy locks may remain when a client is terminated abnormally (such as a PCClient being turned off without closing open cursors).
4. SESSION_CACHED_CURSORS is the initialisation parameterthat specifies how many cursors to hold open for a particular session. The opencursor request will still be sent to the server but it will not be executedonce a matching cursor is found in the session cursor cache.
5. HOLD_CURSOR is an precompiler parameter that specifiesthat an individual cursor should be held open.
6. Both the soft and hard parseregister as a parse in tkprof. Hashing the current statement updates theparse count.
7. Soft parse avoids many of thesteps taken during the parse phase for a particular statement. Initialsyntactic and semantic checks are made and then the statement is hashed andcompared with hashed statements in the SQL area. If amatch is found, then existing information is used and relatively expensivesteps (such as query optimization etc.) areavoided.
8. The 10053 event is only invoked during a hard parse.
