    Unhappy Why it is not using PARALLEL hint with only this query?

    Hi,

    We are using PARALLEL hint very regularly. But, for some reason, it is not using PARALLEL hint only for the following query.

    SELECT /*+ PARALLEL(glcc,6) */
    glcc.segment3 A_ARC,
    glcc.segment1 Fund,
    tl.hierarchy_name Begin_Line,
    SUBSTR(l.attribute9,1,4),
    glcc.segment2 ,
    0 Budget,
    0,
    0,
    0,
    (DECODE(NVL(SUBSTR(l.attribute9,5,1),glp.quarter_num),'1',NVL(l.accounted_dr,0) - NVL(l.accounted_cr,0))) Exp_Quarter1,
    (DECODE(NVL(SUBSTR(l.attribute9,5,1),glp.quarter_num),'2',NVL(l.accounted_dr,0) - NVL(l.accounted_cr,0))) Exp_Quarter2,
    (DECODE(NVL(SUBSTR(l.attribute9,5,1),glp.quarter_num),'3',NVL(l.accounted_dr,0) - NVL(l.accounted_cr,0))) Exp_Quarter3,
    (DECODE(NVL(SUBSTR(l.attribute9,5,1),glp.quarter_num),'4',NVL(l.accounted_dr,0) - NVL(l.accounted_cr,0))) Exp_Quarter4,
    0,0,0,0
    FROM gl_je_lines l,
    gl_je_headers h,
    gl_code_combinations glcc,
    gl_periods glp
    ,fnd_flex_value_hierarchies f
    ,fnd_flex_values v
    ,fnd_flex_hierarchies_tl tl
    WHERE
    glcc.code_combination_id = l.code_combination_id
    and glcc.chart_of_accounts_id = :chart_of_Accounts_id
    and glcc.segment10 NOT LIKE 'ZZ%'
    AND glcc.segment2 BETWEEN f.child_flex_value_low AND f.child_flex_value_high
    AND glcc.summary_flag = 'N'
    AND f.flex_value_set_id = :sac_value_Set_id
    AND f.parent_flex_value = v.flex_value
    AND v.flex_value_set_id = :sac_value_set_id
    AND v.summary_flag = 'Y'
    AND v.structured_hierarchy_level = tl.hierarchy_id
    AND tl.hierarchy_name LIKE '%-%'
    AND l.period_name = glp.period_name
    AND (
    (glp.period_year = :fiscal_year AND :fiscal_year = eriod_year AND glp.period_num <= :begin_num)
    OR
    -- newly added for different year logic
    (TRUNC(l.effective_date) BETWEEN '01-JUL-'||TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(:P_EXPENDITURE_DATE),'YY') AND '01-'||TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(:P_EXPENDITURE_DATE),'MON-YY'))
    )
    AND SUBSTR(l.attribute9,1,4) = :fiscal_year -- BUDGET YEAR
    AND l.je_header_id = h.je_header_id
    AND h.actual_Flag IN ('A')
    AND h.je_source IN ('1','Manual','Spreadsheet')

    If I simply use PARALLEL hint in say

    select /*+ PARALLEL(glcc,6) */ segment2 from gl_code_combinations glcc

    then, it shows PARALLEL operation in its Explain Plan.

    Pl. advise.

    Thanks,

    Sam

    Try this:
    select /*+ FULL(glcc) PARALLEL(glcc,6) */

    Hi,

    It is still not using it. Pl. see the EP below.

    But, interestingly after I commented out the line in the SQL statement, which has a BETWEEN clause, it uses PARALLEL only if I use it with FULL hint.

    See the modified qry.

    How big is your glcc table?

    Let me point out that this piece of SQL ...
    Code:
    (TRUNC(l.effective_date) BETWEEN '01-JUL-'||TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(:P_EXPENDITURE_DATE),'YY') AND '01-'||TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(:P_EXPENDITURE_DATE),'MON-YY'))
           )
    ... is one of the worst pieces of crap that I've ever seen, and won't do what you think it will.

    You need ...
    Code:
    l.effective_date between to_date('0107'||:P_EXPENDITURE_DATE,'DDMMRR') and Trunc(:P_EXPENDITURE_DATE,'MM')
    ... but i expect that there is a logical problem in the code that means that even this is not what you intend.

    Maybe Oracle is not using parallelelism because it is offended by the horribleness of that statement.

    Hi Tamilsevan,

    It has only 182858 rows.

    Hi Slimdave,

    I commented out that whole block of AND & OR condition but it still does not use PARALLEL. Only if I comment out
    'and glcc.segment2 BETWEEN f.child_flex_value_low AND f.child_flex_value_high' line and use FULL and PARALLEL both, it shows PARALLEL usage in the explain plan.

    Also, is there any alternative way of BETWEEN in above statement? Because, if I remove BETWEEN and put EQUAL sign than it uses index but in the query, it needs BETWEEN to compare segment2 with low and high range of child_flex_value.

    Pl. advise.

    Thanks,
    Sam

    For 182K rows, I will not think of parallelism.

    Hi tamilselvan,

    There is a FTS on glcc table and index is not getting used because of the BETWEEN clause in the query. pl. see the original query and explain plan below.

    I see there is a join missing in the where clause.

    There are 2 independent joins.
    The first one is:
    Table f -->v ---> tl
    f -->glcc

    2nd join is:
    Table l -->glp
    l -->h

    You need to first correct "WHERE" clause.

    Hi tamilselvan,

    I am sorry for the delay in reply. I was on a vacation. I am not clear how there are two indendent joins. As I can see, all the tables are joined with each other properly.

    I reorganized it a bit as below.

    FROM
    gl_je_lines l,
    gl_je_headers h,
    gl_code_combinations glcc,
    gl_periods glp,
    fnd_flex_value_hierarchies f,
    fnd_flex_values v,
    fnd_flex_hierarchies_tl tl
    WHERE
    h.je_header_id = l.je_header_id
    AND l.code_combination_id = glcc.code_combination_id
    AND l.period_name = glp.period_name
    AND glcc.segment2 BETWEEN f.child_flex_value_low AND f.child_flex_value_high
    AND f.parent_flex_value = v.flex_value
    AND v.structured_hierarchy_level = tl.hierarchy_id

    Could you pl. make it more clear?

    Thanks in Adv.
    Sam
