Hi all,
I'm having performance issues executing the following query (
Q1):
select
z_out.*,
a_out.id
from orders a_out, test z_out
where a_out.id=z_out.id and a_out.created>trunc(sysdate) and rownum<10
Table
orders contains millions of rows;
orders.id is the primary key and
orders.created is indexed.
The view is:
create or replace view test as
select/*+qb_name(q_outer)*/
id,
min(value) keep (dense_rank first order by id) as value
from (
select/*+qb_name(q_inner)*/
id,
case
when substr(id, -1)<'5'
--and exists(select 1 from dual@db2)
then 'YYY'
end as attr_1
from orders a1
) a2, small_table b2
where b2.attr_1 in (nvl(a2.attr_1, '#'), '*')
group by id
where
small_table b2 contains about 200 records (all the columns are
varchar2).
Executing
Q1 has great performances and the following execution plan:

Q1 performance issues happen when the line
--and exists(select 1 from dual@db2) in the view is uncommented.

Note:
Q1 performances prevent the query to complete if
and exists(select 1 from dual@db2) in the view is uncommented. To get the previous execution plan I had to execute
Q1, stop
Q1 (after about 4 minutes) and then got the plan.
and exists(select 1 from dual@db2) was used to show that the my problem happens even when a condition as simple as that one is used (the "real" view I'm working with accesses
DB2 for some good reasons).
I would like the view to be accessed
n times, like in the first scenario. I tried using hints but didn't succeed.
May be useful to say that even with the line and
exists(select 1 from dual@db2) uncommented in the view, the following query has great performances (I know that is different from
Q1).
select
(select value from test z_out where a_out.id=z_out.id) as value,
a_out.id
from orders a_out
where a_out.created>trunc(sysdate) and rownum<10
So, I guess the view works fine when it's accessed
n times even if the line
and exists(select 1 from dual@db2) is uncommented. But I'm not being able to force the execution plan in that direction on
Q1.
If hints are necessary, I'd like to add them inside the view DDL only (if possible) so that the view users won't have to worry about it.
Thank you
