    Bitmap Conversion To Rowids

    This is the plan used for my query in my prod database.
    10.2.0.3
    In dev same oracle version, the plan is not doing bitmap conversion.
    prod query time: 4minutes
    dev query time:20 seconds

    how can i tell oracle to stop bitmap conversing on me?

    BITMAP CONVERSION TO ROWIDS operation is certainly irritating developers and DBAs, and many times it is performing very badly.

    There are couple of ways you can eliminate this operation.
    1. Run the SQL with 10053 trace event and examine the trace file.
    2. Check the indexes have proper statistics. You can increase the “blevel” or leaf blocks values in one of the indexes (or both). Try one at a time.

    Pando,

    I have seen the optimizer chose the BITMAP CONVERSION (ROWIDS) operation even after setting this parameter to FALSE in 8.1.7.4. This has happened after we applied the "APR 2006 CPU".

    Have you tried using a hint in your sql forcing an index to be used?
    /*+ index(....,...) */

    Hi Tamil

    That parameter applies to btree indexes and AFIAK it is TRUE from 9i.

    As the poster says his index is btree and not bitmap. May the bitmap conversion in your case was with a bitmap index?
