Hi Experts!

Any suggestion and guideline to improve SQL in PL/SQL
I have generate a DBMS_PROFILER results and it gave
the following results : (These are just few excerpts from
a large procedure where SQL is being used in PL/SQL).

All the performance is being killed by these SQL statements.

Any ideas which make this sql statement
faster will be a great help.

OR
Any other approaches to tackle this problem?

Thanking you in advance for your insight.

First, there is little one can usually do by just seeing the SQL. We would need to look at the trace statistics. Second, and more importantly, I really doubt if you are going to speed these up. You are calling each of them 8.4 million times. That's your problem. The slowest of them is executing each query at a average of 0.0003125 seconds per query, quite fast by any standard. You may need to rethink how you're doing whatever it is you're doing.

Thanks for your reply.

I am woking on SQL trace statistics.

Does 'BULK COLLECT INTO' will make any different?

I have to work for COLLECTION for that if performance
is feasible using COLLECTION.


-----I have checked whether the indexs are being used
in the select statement and i found many statement
are using not all the indexs created on a particular table.

Let's say this SQL Statement....


SELECT /*+ FIRST_ROWS */ PAT.LastName, 
       PAT.FirstName, 
       SUBSTR(PID.ICD9, 1, 3) || '.' || SUBSTR(PID.ICD9, 4, 2), 
       PAT.ZIP, 
       PAT.State 
  INTO v_IR.LastName, 
       v_IR.FirstName, 
       v_IR.PriICD9, 
       v_IR.PatientZIP, 
       v_IR.State 
  FROM TBLPATIENT PAT, 
       TBLPATINTAKEDIAG PID 
 WHERE PID.PatientNumber (+) = :PatientNumber 
   AND PID.IntakeID (+) = :IntakeID 
   AND PID.LevelCD = '0001' 
   AND PAT.PatientNumber = :PatientNumber 
   AND ROWNUM = 1



in table - TBLPATINTAKEDIAG
CREATE TABLE TBLPATINTAKEDIAG
(
  PATIENTNUMBER        NUMBER(10)               NOT NULL,
  INTAKEID             NUMBER(10)               NOT NULL,
  OPERATIONCENTERCODE  VARCHAR2(8 BYTE)         NOT NULL,
  ICD9                 VARCHAR2(8 BYTE)         NOT NULL,
  LEVELCD              VARCHAR2(4 BYTE)         NOT NULL,
  ONSETDATE            DATE,
  CREATEDBY            VARCHAR2(30 BYTE)        DEFAULT user,
  CREATEDDATETIME      DATE                     DEFAULT sysdate,
  UPDATEDBY            VARCHAR2(30 BYTE)        DEFAULT user,
  UPDATEDDATETIME      DATE                     DEFAULT sysdate
)

i have four index created on the columns :
 	Index Name	     Unique?	Column Name	           Order	Position	Index Owner

PLAIN	PK_TBLPATINTAKEDIAG	Y	PATIENTNUMBER	             Asc	1	        NETWORX_OWNER
PLAIN	PK_TBLPATINTAKEDIAG	Y	INTAKEID	             Asc	2	        NETWORX_OWNER
PLAIN	PK_TBLPATINTAKEDIAG	Y	OPERATIONCENTERCODE	     Asc	3	        NETWORX_OWNER
PLAIN	PK_TBLPATINTAKEDIAG	Y	LEVELCD	                     Asc	4	        NETWORX_OWNER


When i checked with TOAD in the SQL tuning
DESCRIBE DETAIL OF EXPLAIN PLAN it showed
only 1 index participation i.e. PK_PATIENTNUMBER,

Question is how to make the query to use all the index
on the column which are being used in the WHERE clause?

Remark at "the sideline" (is that a correct expression?? Razz )

Why did you put the first_rows hint in? It looks as if you would like to get all rows, so it seems better to let the optimizer know that, instead of "fool it".

Sabine

You can either waste you time trying to get the database to do things it cannot do or you can actually listen to what I am trying to tell you. How much faster than 0.0003125 seconds per query do you think you can get the database to work? Answer: That is as fast as it is going to go. Forget about the trace. Forget about the indexes. Forget about hints. Bulk collection will not help you within a loop. That is NOT your problem. Your problem is a loop that iterates 8.4, make that closer to 8.5 million, times. The only way you are going to get anything resembling performance is to remove the PL/SQL loop. Any other exploration is just a waste of your time.

Skooman listen -->>> Tuning SQL is the area where I need to improve my skill,give simple solution instead.



Thanks and Agreeing with Scottwmackey's observations and suggetions.

I am still remain with one question,
then why my procedure takes 17 hours for 21 Million Rows ?

Do you have any suggestion for that ?

21 Million rows takes a long time to process.

Yes, you can help it along with BULK COLLECT, but that is
not going to help much.

Your problem is that you have SQL inside a loop that executes millions of times.
The ONLY way to get an order of magnitude improvement is NOT to have SQL inside this loop.

There are 3 main techniques to avoid this problem:
  • Instead of SELECTs or CURSOR LOOPs inside an outer loop, try to join these tables into the outer cursor. If the outer cursor returns all of the columns you need then you wont need to open a cursor or perform a SELECT inside the loop.
  • Load rows for INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE into nested tables and apply them inside a FORALL loop; NOT a regular LOOP (eg: FOR / WHILE).
  • Use Concurrent Cursors to process cursors with different cardinality.

Yes, I have a suggestion. Find an expert. And I don't say that with the least bit of sarcasm. If you are processing (updating, deleting , inserting) 21 million rows on a regular basis, you are going to need somebody to design a solution that makes use of Oracle's bulk processing. As Ross and I suggested, you cannot do this in a loop. It's just not fast enough and there is no way you can make it faster. So your options, it seems to me, are a) hire an expert contractor, b) study up real hard and real fast on the best ways to process large amounts of data in Oracle, or c) post your entire problem here and hope somebody has is slow at work and can at least suggest a method. To paraphrase Tom Kyte, if there were a generic solution to all problems, Oracle would just include it in the next release. But there isn't. That's why you need somebody who understands how Oracle works and what your specific requirements are to design an optimal solution. There are at least fifteen people who post here on a regular basis who could provide you with a solution, but you have not provided them with a set of requirements. If you have restrictions that prevent you from doing so, I doubt that there is anything much that they can do for you.

Thanks to rleishman
And
Thanks to scottwmackey.

I really need to improve the performance.
I cannot hire any expert because I am being designated to finish this task.

My commitment is:
I am ready for option
b) Study up real hard and real fast on the best ways to process large amounts of data in Oracle. 
c) Post your entire problem here.


Posting entire problem is really large text.

My constraint is time: only 15 days to complete.

Though i have started to work on rleishman suggested techniques to reduce or avoid this problem,really need someone who can help me as a Mentor for this project.

Inform your manager that you lack the knowledge to complete this task now instead of waiting 14 days.

Hi.

You are executing about 45,000,000 SQL statements during 17 hours.
It means that on average each statements takes 1.36 msec - looks pretty good to me.
As I see it - the solution is to reduce the number of executed statements and NOT to improve them (you must be aware that for each statement you are paying a penalty of context switch).
A small example:
your application executes
SELECT /*+ FIRST_ROWS */ DECODE(v_IR.CovType,'FFS', 'FFS', 'CAP')
INTO v_IR.CovClass FROM DUAL;
about 8.4 M times and each time it incurrs contetxt switch.

Why not to use:
IF v_IR.CovType = 'FFS' THEN
v_IR.CovClass := 'FFS';
ELSE
v_IR.CovClass := 'CAP';
END IF;

instead?

Akshar,

Do yourself and the company for which you are working a big favor, take Frank's advice. It looks to me like you are in over your head. You will not complete this task. Let you supervisor know right now. Don't take it personally. It says nothing about your intelligence or ability. All it means is that you don't have the experience. All of us had to learn at some time. Your supervisor has given you a task that is usually reserved for the rleishmans of the world, i.e. seasoned experts who know every technique, trick, and shortcut to milk every last millisecond out of Oracle. You cannot learn that in 14 days. You just can't. For instance, my guess is that you neglected to get the first requirement: How fast does it need to run? "Make it faster" is not a proper requirement. Given your statements hear and on the other thread, you don't seem to be in a position to go back to your supervisor and, with confidence, tell him/her what can or cannot be done or if, given the requirements, a major rearchitecting of your data is required. For example, the person given this task should already understand that grouping on 17 million rows takes time (see the other thread you started). Yes CPUs and disks are fast these days, but they're not magic. Only experience will give you "feelings" of how long processes should legitimately take. You're not there yet.
