Summary Processes - Long running time

Hello,

We ran the monthly summary processes and they took really long time to process. I am wondering may be you folks can help me out in understanding the problem with some details here I am provided.

Thanks,

all meaningless - how about the code, data sizes and an explain plan?

also learn how to format your posts properly to make them easier to read

Cary Millsap would love this one:
100% hit ratio - PERFECT, except . . . .

. . . shame about 2 BILLION LIO's




As Davey says: need the code and explain plan.

My wild stab-in-the-dark guess is that you are relying too much on row-by-row processing, and looking up individual rows by index. If so then you might benefit from a code overhaul to make better use of processing large amounts of data with fewer SQL executions.

really though the instance has not been shutdown since Oracle V6 so those LIO's just sort of average themselves out - or maybe it be useful to understand the time frame for the statistics being gather
