Hi Experts,

We are oracle 10.2.0.4 on Sun Solairs 10. There is one sql that is taking a long time (more than 40 seconds in production). I am copying below the create table scripts and the query. I will be very thankful for any suggestions on tuning it:


CREATE TABLE MSG_USER

The question is how to tune the sql to bring it back to complete it in less then 3 seconds.
Thanks,

Suggestions: Create covering indexes for msg_instance (clnt_oid+msg_instance_id) and msg_user (msg_instance_id+msg_status) as they are used for joins. Update statistics. Is it possible to post the actual query plan instead of explain plan?

The plan I mentioned earlier is output of:
select * from table(dbms_xplan.display_cursor());

So it is the actual plan and not estimated. Also adding the two indexes is not also helping out unluckily.

Thanks,

I would run these queries to figure out how selective the different predicates are:

select count(*) from msg_instance mi
WHERE mi.clnt_oid = :SYS_B_0;

select count(*) FROM msg_user mu
where mu.msg_status IN (:SYS_B_2, :SYS_B_3);

Also, just figure out how big the tables are:

select count(*) from msg_instance mi;

select count(*) FROM msg_user mu;

Depending on whether the condition on mi.clnt_oid or mu.msg_status are selective you will make different choices.

For example, if neither are selective just do full scans and hash joins.
If mu.msg_status is selective maybe you need an index where mu.msg_status is first and you might need a hint to force its use.

where exactly did you see this query running in 3 seconds?

are you on a version of Oracle that allows for use of the GATHER_PLAN_STATISTICS hint? if so, use it and post results that show the actual plan step cardinalities with the estimates. If you don't know this hint, read up on it.

Once you get estimates vs. actuals, pay attention to what Bobby said.

if you have a place where it runs in 3 seconds, get a plan from there too so we can compare them.
