客户的数据库使用了cursor_sharing=similar参数，经过测试，发现这一参数极大影响了expdp的性能。

    其本质原因是SQL的执行计划发生了改变。

    在正常情况下28分钟完成的EXPDP操作，在similar模式下用了整整1个小时：

    [oracle@stat backup]$ expdp smg/smg directory=backup dumpfile=sms2.dmp schemas=SMGSTAT

    由于cursor_sharing是一个动态参数，所以可以在执行expdp之前进行修改，然后执行导出：

    SQL> show parameter cursor

    NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE

    ------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------

    cursor_sharing                       string      EXACT

    cursor_space_for_time                boolean     FALSE

    open_cursors                         integer     300

    session_cached_cursors               integer     20

    SQL> alter system set cursor_sharing=similar scope=memory;

    System altered.

    这是最近遇到的cursor_sharing的又一重要不利影响。
