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。
