This is my first post to your forum. Presently this query takes 3 minutes 14 secs to come back with 100 rows if I give it a bind variable of 100 :endrow. Can someone please suggest me an alternate way to write this to make it faster or some hint.

select *

SELECT
INNER.*,
ROWNUM
AS QUERY_ROWNUM
FROM
(
SELECT --+
COUNT(*) OVER() AS TOTAL_ROWS,
NVL(MT.TRNSF_FL, 'N') AS TRNSF_FL,

How does your query perform without the line
 COUNT(*) OVER() AS TOTAL_ROWS,
?

I commented out the line as you suggested but still the query is very slow. Can you please suggest me any hints or any other way to rewrite this query to make it faster after looking at the explain plan.

What is oracle version/ OS version?
Hash Outer joins has problems.
Can you convert the query to use an inner join and try again?
please Post your code/statspack/trace/plan etc within CODE
So we get see them formatted.

Mahesh,
Thank You for your reply. For my requirement I do need an outer join with MT.INDVL_PK (+)=IND.INDVL_PK. Can you suggest me a workaround to avoid the outer hash join? I am submitting the query and explain plan within [code] now.

Thank You

Mahesh,

You were absolutely right. When I remove the outer join , the query becomes extremely fast. But I do need the outer join as per the requirements. Here is the explain plan when I remove the outer join. Can you suggest me any hint or a new way to write this query so I can mimic this plan:

But, generally hash joins are better than the nested loops.
Now you are considering only 100 rows. If the records are more, a hash join should be better.
We need to understand about data distribution here.
You still havent given the oracle version/os.
Enable tracing with a level 8 (level 12 if using bind variables).
Generate the tkprof output.
Post the tkprof output.

and
THe only method to understand what acctually happens inside a hashjoin is toenable event 10104.

alter session set events '10046 trace name context forever, level 12';
alter session set events '10104 trace name context forever, level 1';

Mahesh,

The Db version is 9.2.0.6 and the os is SUN. I am uploading the output of tkprof. Please suggest me if you find anything from this info.
Thx

1. do a little change in code.
Use more bind variables, wherever possible.
2. what is the value of pga_aggregate_target
Increase it significantly (default would be around 24 m.
start with a minimum 200m . Got upt 1024m).
and WORKAREA_SIZE_POLICY should be AUTO.
3. try again (with trace enabled).

Before doing any of this, apply caution. Never do this to production database.
First create a pfile from spfile.
secure this pfile.
create another_pfile from sfpile.
do all changes only this another_spfile. startup and mount the database with this another_pfile. thus if we want to revert it will be easy.
And Tkprof will not show the hashjoin information.
you will be seeing that inside the raw tracefile and it will start something like

*** HASH JOIN STATISTICS (INITIALIZATION) ***
..
...
....
manyentries
...
*** END OF HASH JOIN BUILD (PHASE 1) ***
followed by some bucket information.
Please post it. or email the whole trc file.

Mahesh,

When I run the query by adding a hint ( --+ FULL(MTP) )to the inline view MT and I comment out count over () and order by the query comes back in 1 sec. I am still working on sending you the trace file output.
If this gives your some new insight please let me know.

Here is the query:
