Hi All

This is the output of a plan table i have run on select statement of cursors, like this there are couple of select statements in a cursor inside a procedure.

What is to be conclude by reading a output of a plan table,
what are columns to be focused, Please help me so that i can tune the procedure,Since i am new to tuning some help is requested from you all there...

1 out put ---
SELECT STATEMENT, GOAL = CHOOSE

Tune what?
Is the query running slow
or
too fast?
YOu need to provide more information.
oracle version, OS etc.
The plan depends on collected statistics.
Did you gather the stats?

>>MERGE JOIN CARTESIAN Cost=5 Cardinality=1 Bytes=41
>>MERGE JOIN CARTESIAN Cost=3 Cardinality=1 Bytes=21
>> TABLE ACCESS FULL Object owner=PM_DBA Object name=FACT_TYPE Cost=2 Cardinality =1 Bytes=10


The cartesian join would be painful.
Are you sure the concerned column on FACT_TYPE is indexed ( and table/index statistics gathered?)

Hi Mahesh

Thanks for responding,

Well Oracle is 9i,OS is Unix,
This procedure is running slow,

Regarding gathering stats we don't have privilege ,we are developers only told to tune this procedure.

I gave those 2 plans out of may be 10 cursors and select statements in a procedure,
As you mention

>>MERGE JOIN CARTESIAN Cost=5 Cardinality=1 Bytes=41
>>MERGE JOIN CARTESIAN Cost=3 Cardinality=1 Bytes=21
>> TABLE ACCESS FULL Object owner=PM_DBA Object name=FACT_TYPE Cost=2 Cardinality =1 Bytes=10

Do you want me to check joins for catesian product and index on
Object name=FACT_TYPE

What does CARTESIAN Cost=5 and CARTESIAN Cost=3 means..


Thanks

Makes no sense.
To get the data in an efficient manner, CBO comes with path/plan, based on statistics it has.
It may be good or bad. It depends on statistics.
Same thing like in google map/yahoo maps , that gets the best route withing two places. If the current Road/route conditions are not updated, you are relying on OLD data.
So first ask your 'privileged' people whether the statistics are updated and if not to do it.
You have not posted the query.
Based on plan, we can say that at somepoint, there is an cartesian join, following by an FTS which usually is not required.
Either fix your query.
or
As In most cases, your are missing an index or the existing index is not used because of changes in data distribution or the statistics are just old.
(user PM_DBA is doing a full table scan on table FACT_TYPE to fetch only ONE record. If there are many rows in a table, an index may be useful.).
Here COST means nothing. It is just a number.

Hi Mahesh

I will post the updated stats on this procedure's code.
You can have a look at this code guide me whether some thing is wrong in the logic or coding standards.
I will also work on that cartesian product and FTS and index.

I have attached the Code.

Thanks
