I'm doing some joins and they are taking an exorbitant amount of time (almost a week). I am the only user on this system, and I cannot understand why my joins would take so long. Even if the joins are doing full table scans (although my db_file_multiblock_read_count=8, and all tables have indexes reflecting those columns in the join query)...there are only about 400k rows involved in the 2 tables Are any of the following parameters miscalculated? Thanks.

Here are the stats when I run the join query:

Before you actually run the query, try doing a EXPLAIN PLAN and optimize the query. Try hitting the indexes anywhere you can...if not create an index and see if it speeds up the query or not.

Good luck.

I've run the explain plan before:

Q_PLAN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE STATEMENT
UPDATE ORDERS
TABLE ACCESS FULL ORDERS
TABLE ACCESS FULL TEMP_ED_ORDERS

And I've created indexes on both tables listed within the query, and included those columns in the indexes. There's only about 400k rows in each table:

update orders a set (ord_stat)=
(select code_desc from temp_ed_orders b
where a.order_num=b.order_num);

I really think this has something to do with my system/SGA setttings. Is there anything wrong with how they're setup? Thanks!

Hi,
The problem which i could see in your query is that
u got duplicate or null records in order_num columns of one of the table to avoid this you can enforce primary key like constarint on both the columns which will put indexing also. Or else you can try creating cluster and rebuild both tables which will enhance the operation of updation.

There are neither dups, or null values in the ord_num columns. I ran an initial update statement:
insert into orders (order_num)
select order_num from temp_ed_orders;
Then I execute the update statement which is giving me the issue:
update orders a set (ord_stat)=
(select code_desc from temp_ed_orders b
where a.order_num=b.order_num);

That's why I'm wondering if my sga is set incorrectly...any suggestions would be great! Thanks!
