..
i was using a query , which was working all right having records in millions almost , but when i introduced a parameter , and used
nvl() function to handle that parameter , its working allright but the performance has decreased considerably , what should i use , will decode serve any better from response time point of view.

ya i do ,
but i wanted all the experts to share thier techniques that they used to improve performance during different scenario's. i have one scenario and three possible conditions.
1. use NVL
2. use decode
3. use nvl while creating parameter list.
i am looking for little thoeratical knowledge about improving performance .

As opposed to 1st hand knowledge gained by doing actual benchmarks yourself?
The usual answer for Oracle when it comes to any performance question is, "It depends".
If there was a one size fits all solution, Oracle would hard code it into the DB engine.

Perhaps the only general thing might be to try to avoid functions on the data side, like don't do
select number,name
from table
where number * 2 = 4;
but do
select number,name
from table
where number = 4 / 2;
so that the expression is calculated only once and the optimizer can use an index on number.
But the only real answer is "it depends"
