Hi all, I Have fired a query
SELECT DISTINCT B.BDECOILID cc FROM COILS B, DEFECTS A WHERE B.COILID=A.COILID
it's explain plan is showing sort unique and it's cost 845k

| Id |Operation | Name| Rows | Bytes |TempSpc| Cost (%CPU)|
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 10142 | 217K||845K (54)|
| 1 | SORT UNIQUE | | 10142 | 217K| 185M|845K (54)
| 2 |NESTED LOOPS | | 6882K| 144M|| 45348 (29)|
| 3 |TABLE ACCESS FULL| COILS | 10711 | 177K| 217 (50)|
|*4 |INDEX RANGE SCAN | COIL_ID_DEFECTS | 643 | 3215 |4 (25)|

It is too much time because of distinct keyword is their any way to reduce the cost.

As you are asking it to return DISTINCT values so it goes for sort unique. If you are sure that there would be no duplicates then you can get rid of DISTINCT and consequently SORT UNIQUE.

If BDECOILID is unique in COILS, then
SELECT B.BDECOILID cc 
FROM COILS B
WHERE coilid IN (
  SELECT coilid
  FROM   DEFECTS A)
