hi all,
i had a delete statement like this in a trigger
delete from histo where num <(b1 -30000)
b1 is a parameter coming from a sequence
there's an index on num and only on that colum which is the primary key
when i look at the plan he always do a full table scan to delete
why ? is it coming from the parameters
I am not sure, but here's what I learned from reading this forum.
Bec. the FK is not index, when you do a delete from the
parent table, oracle does a full tables scan on the child table for
data integrity purposes. You can truncate your child table or have FK on your child table index.
