Explanation:
Oracle9i has enhanced cursor sharing mode. It can use additional value, SIMILAR, in addition to the EXACT and FORCE cursor sharing modes. When you specify SIMILAR, Oracle only uses the execution plan if is certain that the execution plan does not have any association with the specific literal value. You can enable similar statements to share the same SQL execution plan by setting CURSOR_SHARING to either FORCVE or SIMILAR.
Incorrect Answers:
1: Literal value is substituted for a shared cursor. The substitution of any literal value will produce exactly the same execution plan.
2: Exactly the same execution plans will be generated for substituted literal values.
3: The substitution of any literal value will produce exactly the same execution plan.
