60000 bind variables?! Maybe it’s time to use a temporary table instead…

I just noticed a bug 8277300 filed in Metalink with following description:

ORA-7445[XTYQBCB] OCCURS DURING EXECUTING SQL THAT USES 60000 BIND VARIABLES.

Wow! That’s about 100 times more bind variables in a single query than what I’ve seen in past. And I thought that query was bad!!! :)

I suspect this is a massive IN list passed to a query. Maybe it’s time to use a temporary table or a collection for passing in the IN values instead?
