    Anyone good at re-writing sql ??

    Okay - I've already said I'm not very good at this coding lark....

    explain plan for
    select *
    from affected_cat_cust
    where (hurn,purn,cat_id) in
    (select hurn,purn,cat_id
    from
    (select hurn,purn,cat_id,count(*)
    from affected_cat_cust
    group by hurn,purn,cat_id
    having count(*) = 1
    )
    )
    and (hurn,purn,cat_id) not in(select hurn,purn,cat_id from affected_catalogue_customer)

    VIEW VW_NSO_1 2656 28403
    FILTER

    TABLE ACCESS FULL AFFECTED_CAT_CUST ANALYZED 2018 2840283
    TABLE ACCESS FULL AFFECTED_CATALOGUE_C ANALYZED 108 11

    ------------------------------------------------------

    I know the 'having count(*) = 1' is giving me a filter, and the 'not in' clause is giving me the other.

    Can anyone re-write this to maintian the integrity of the statement, but remove the flamin' filters ???

    Dapi - how about you ??

    much obliged.

    My first would be to replace (NOT) IN with (NOT) EXISTS . . .

    DaPi - I knew you were out there
    How do I code the NOT Exists ??
    I'll have another go, whilst I wait for your wisdom........

    and (hurn,purn,cat_id) not exists (select hurn,purn,cat_id from affected_catalogue_customer)
    *

    Code:
     
    select *
    from affected_cat_cust a1
    .
    .
    .
    .
    and not exists
    (select * from affected_catalogue_customer c
     where c.hurn = a1.hurn
     and   c.purn = a1.purn
     and   c.cat_id = a1.cat_id)
    You do have analyzed indexes on hurn, purn and /or cat_id ? (best would be one index on all three). You can do the same kind of thing for the IN as well - but there must be a better way . .. haven't seen it yet . . .

    That nasty filter has disappeared and been replaced with an anti hash join.

    How many pints is that now DaPi ??

    You're still doing FTS - is that inevitable? The NOT logic (as we have discussed recently) might be able to use a FIS instead . . .
    The IN becoming EXISTS might be more effective: I wondered about recoding the first bit
    Code:
    select *
    from affected_cat_cust a1
    where exists 
    (select a2.hurn,a2.purn,a2.cat_id,count(*)
     from affected_cat_cust a2
     where a2.hurn = a1.hurn
     and   a2.purn = a1.purn
     and   a2.cat_id = a1.cat_id
     group by a2.hurn,a2.purn,a2.cat_id
     having count(*) = 1)

    How about ...

    Code:
    Select
       hurn,
       purn,
       cat_id,
       .... etc ...
    From
       (
       Select
       hurn,
       purn,
       cat_id,
       .... etc ...
       count(*) Over 
          (partition by
             hurn,
             purn,
             cat_id) c_star
       From
          affected_cat_cust
       )
    Where c_star = 1;
