    Lightbulb SQL Tuning

    I have table which has 12 Mill rows, when I try to query the database with below sql it is doing the full table scan.

    Select * from abc_tbl where rec_stat='C'

    This column “rec_stat” having the bit map index even thus it is doing full table scan. Any suggestions to avoid the full table scan.

    why are you assuming a full table is bad?

    As a rule of thumb, if C represents more than ~4% of the table, then a tablescan is more efficient.

    But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong

    Reason is it need to go thru the entire 13 mill rows right ? so i think it takes long time.

    As Christopher R. Long said I have C records are more than 4 % of the table then i think i'm fine .let it run the full table scan.
