    Hi,

    Here are the details of the 2 Tables


    SQL> desc lkp_product_location_name
    Name Null? Type
    ----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
    PRODUCT_LOCATION_ID NOT NULL NUMBER
    PRODUCT_LOCATION_DESCRIPTION VARCHAR2(100)
    CREATED_DATE DATE
    CREATED_BY VARCHAR2(15)
    SORT_ORDER NUMBER
    PRODUCT_NAME VARCHAR2(50)

    SQL> desc news_story
    Name Null? Type
    ----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
    STORY_ID NOT NULL NUMBER
    RAW_ID NOT NULL NUMBER
    HEADLINE VARCHAR2(200)
    STORY CLOB
    AUTHOR VARCHAR2(100)
    DATE_OF_STORY DATE
    SOURCE VARCHAR2(200)
    NEWS_USE_DATE DATE
    RANK NUMBER
    CREATED_DATE DATE
    CREATED_BY VARCHAR2(20)
    UPDATED_DATE DATE
    UPDATED_BY VARCHAR2(20)
    ANALYST_ID NUMBER
    PRODUCT_LOCATION_ID NOT NULL NUMBER

    SQL> select count(*) from lkp_product_location_name;

    COUNT(*)
    ----------
    36


    SQL> select count(*) from news_story;

    COUNT(*)
    ----------
    83091


    Here is the list of all the indexes created on the 2 tables


    create index idx_newsstory_rawid on news_story(raw_id) tablespace indx;

    create index idx_newsstory_headline on news_story(headline) tablespace indx;

    create index idx_newsstory_prodlocationid on news_story(product_location_id) tablespace indx;

    create index idx_newsstory_dateofstory on news_story(date_of_story) tablespace indx;

    create index idx_newsstory_fundateofstory on news_story(trunc(date_of_story)) tablespace indx;

    create index idx_newsstory_funupdateddate on news_story(trunc(updated_date)) tablespace indx;

    create index idx_newsstory_funnewsusedate on news_story(trunc(news_use_date)) tablespace indx;

    create index idx_funlkpproductlocationname on lkp_product_location_name(upper(product_name)) tablespace indx;



    Here is the query i am trying to excute. From the explain plan I can see that the index on trunc(news_use_date) on the news_story table is not being used.

    SQL> ed
    Wrote file afiedt.buf

    1 select a.product_name,count(*)
    2 from lkp_product_location_name a,news_story b where
    3 upper(a.product_name )=upper('headliner') and
    4 a.product_location_id=b.product_location_id (+) and
    5 trunc(b.news_use_date (+) ) = trunc(CoDB_News.Next_Business_Day( SYSDATE ))
    6* group by a.product_name
    SQL> /

    Also I feel that 3.75 seconds for this query is very high and will affect the eprformance of the application overall as there are quite a few of such queries . Is there any way i can improve the performance of the query.

    Please suggest

    Ronnie, you have to set in init.ora:

    query_rewrite_enabled = true
    query_rewrite_integrity = trusted

    Thus you will enable the function based index functionallity.

    Has the user who runs the query been granted query rewrite?

    Hi Julian,

    All the parameters are set and permissions granted.

    Thats evident from the excution plan

    Execution Plan
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    0 SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer=CHOOSE (Cost=5 Card=8 Bytes=480)
    1 0 SORT (GROUP BY) (Cost=5 Card=8 Bytes=480)
    2 1 NESTED LOOPS (OUTER) (Cost=3 Card=8 Bytes=480)
    3 2 TABLE ACCESS (BY INDEX ROWID) OF 'LKP_PRODUCT_LOCATION
    _NAME' (Cost=1 Card=1 Bytes=40)


    4 3 INDEX (RANGE SCAN) OF 'IDX_FUNLKPPRODUCTLOCATIONNAME
    ' (NON-UNIQUE) (Cost=1 Card=1)


    5 2 TABLE ACCESS (BY INDEX ROWID) OF 'NEWS_STORY' (Cost=2
    Card=824 Bytes=16480)

    6 5 INDEX (RANGE SCAN) OF 'IDX_NEWSSTORY_PRODLOCATIONID'
    (NON-UNIQUE) (Cost=1 Card=824)

    the index its using is
    idx_funlkpproductlocationname on lkp_product_location_name(upper(product_name)) tablespace indx;


    So.. Its using one of the function based indexes and not the other.

    Don't bite my head off if I don't get it right away ..

    Looks like the CBO is not picking it up because it thinks it's not the *best* plan.

    Can you force it with /*+ index(idx_newsstory_funnewsusedate) */ ?

    This is what I get when i Give a hint. It still does not use the index

    6* group by a.product_name

    trunc(b.news_use_date (+) )

    Don't funtion based indexes kick in ONLY if the query code looks EXACTLY like the index creation code?

    My fault ken. Used the incorrect index name. Sorry about that.

    I tried it with the correct name now and to be sure that its exactly the same the the index i dropped and recreated the index. But it still does not work.

    Here is what i did

    SQL> drop index idx_newsstory_funnewsusedate;

    Index dropped.

    Elapsed: 00:00:09.74
    SQL> create index idx_newsstory_funnewsusedate on news_story(trunc(news_use_date)) tablespace indx;


    Index created.

    Elapsed: 00:00:49.54
    SQL> select /*+ INDEX(idx_newsstory_funnewsusedate ) */ a.product_name,count(b.product_location_id)
    2 from lkp_product_location_name a,news_story b where
    3 upper(a.product_name )=upper('headliner') and
    4 a.product_location_id=b.product_location_id (+) and
    5 trunc(b.news_use_date (+) ) between sysdate-10 and sysdate
    6 group by a.product_name
    7 /

    Have you collected histograms statistics? Run analyze on the table, collecting the istogram statistics and try the query again. Try analyze with compute if the table is not too big.
