Hi,
I have executed the following query
SELECT COUNT(*) PERS, REGION FROM EMPHRDATA Emp
WHERE EXISTS ( SELECT Emp_no FROM Timecard TIME
WHERE Week_End_date = '21-MAY-2005' AND TIME.Emp_no = Emp.Emp_No )
GROUP BY REGION
It will take 13 minutes to fetch the data.
I am using 3 tables
EMPHRDATA,EMPLOYEE, TIMECARD
EMPHRDATA contains 21000 records, EMPLOYEE-5000 records and
TIMECARD - 3000 records.
How can improve performance?
Regards
Naveen

Yes, check that you are using actual dates and not character strings.
Also, why are you using a where exists, that just does a join back to the first table, rather than using a regular query with normal joins and no exists clause? You are just getting a count of the employees per region who have an end date equal to your date given, right?
And I only see 2 tables not 3. Oh and make sure you have statistics gathered, and it may or may not help to have an index on your date field used in the comparison.

Hi,
How can i write this query without exists clause?
SELECT COUNT(*) PERS, REGION FROM EMPHRDATA Emp
WHERE EXISTS ( SELECT Emp_no FROM Timecard TIME
WHERE Week_End_date = '21-MAY-2005' AND TIME.Emp_no = Emp.Emp_No )
GROUP BY REGION

I don't know enough about your situation to know for sure, so this is just a guess:
select region, count(*)
from emp, time
where time.emp_no = emp.emp_no
and time.week_end_date = to_date('21-MAY-2005')
group by region;

Hi,
My requirement is to search the number of employees who has entered their timecard in the current week(week end date) in each region.
I will get week end date field from timecard table and region from emphrdata table. Join based on the emp_no in both tables.
here emp_no is primary key.
Regards
Naveen

SELECT COUNT (DISTINCT Emp_no) PERS, REGION
FROM EMPHRDATA Emp, Timecard TIME
WHERE TIME.Emp_no = Emp.Emp_No
AND Week_End_date = TO_DATE ('21-MAY-2005', 'DD-MON-YYYY')
GROUP BY REGION;
