Hi Guys,


I am very new to this tuning of sql queries. It is taking a lot of time to run a query and give the output. I have a tool called TOAD[ Tool for oracle application development ] and i ran a query in that tool. Its showing that the query is taking 7sec to get its output. I donno the exact procedure what to follow in order to tune that query. What are these actually like : explain plan, sqltrace, tkprof and how to use these to tune the query. I want my query to run faster like in msec.

Help Appreciated.

Thanks

I want a million dollars.
There are whole books on the topic of Tuning SQL.
I suggest you try to RTFM.
Google & AMAZON.COM are your friend, but only if YOU use them

To you I would highly recommend the book Optimizing Oracle Performance by Millsap/Holt. To find out how to optimize your query, you need to know what it is you're waiting for.

On that page, there is also a link to the PDF of Chapter 1.

You can thank me later.

If you want something a bit cheaper, take a look at My Website. It's absolutely free (and worth every penny, some would say Wink)
