Hi fairlie
Do you have system stats in place ?
if this is 10g -- you didn't mention; isn't it possible that upon instance startup, system stats are gathered with noworkload per default at instance startup. Therefore, when instance 1 starts, it gets a set of "default" system stats, and perhaps it has them cached somewhere in memory ? And when instance 2 starts up, it gets a different set and uses those ?
Just thinking out loud here.
Regards
Stefan

Thanks
The object stats would be the same, but it is possible for the system
stats to be different. Have you validated they are consistent across
nodes? Perhaps it would be best to snag the system stats that produce
the good plan and import them to the other nodes.
