    index is not used after a table reorg

    Hi,

    Application - SAP
    Database - oracle 10.2.0.4.0
    OS - Sun sparc 64 bit

    The below sql statement was using the index jcds~0 but after a table reorg(using Quest's live reorg) and collecting stats using brconnect, it has started performing full table scans.

    UNIQUE INDEX SAPSR3."JCDS~0" ON SAPSR3.JCDS
    (MANDT, OBJNR, STAT, CHGNR)

    SELECT "MANDT" , "OBJNR" , "STAT" , "CHGNR" , "USNAM" , "UDATE" , "UTIME" , "TCODE" , "CDTCODE" , "INACT" , "CHIND"
    FROM "JCDS" WHERE "MANDT" = 100 AND "OBJNR" BETWEEN 'VB*' AND 'VB99999999999999999999' AND "INACT" = ' ';

    When I explain that statement on oracle sqlplus level, it seems to be using the index. However, when run from SAP, it does a full table scan. Does that make sense?

    I was able to reorg just the table/index on a staging env by retaining the existing stats. The select was still using the index, so that confirmed that the reorg is not causing the issue but the stats is telling the optimizer to change the execution plan.

    So, I copied the stats that work into the problem database hoping it should use the index now but it was still doing full table scans when run from the application level.

    Can someone help me with what else I can look at to resolve this mystery. I'm running out of options. Appreciate your help.

    Regards
    Jay

    The acutal select statement uses bind variables.
    SELECT "MANDT" , "OBJNR" , "STAT" , "CHGNR" , "USNAM" , "UDATE" , "UTIME" , "TCODE" , "CDTCODE" , "INACT" , "CHIND"
    FROM "JCDS" WHERE "MANDT" = :A0 AND "OBJNR" BETWEEN :A1 AND :A2 AND "INACT" = :A3;

    The values for the bind variables are
    MANDT-100
    OBJNR = VB* and VB99999999999999999999
    INACT = ' '

    Hi

    Can you post the explain plan with formatting for the statement here

    Code:
    SELECT MANDT , OBJNR , STAT , 
    CHGNR , USNAM , UDATE , 
    UTIME , 
    TCODE , CDTCODE , 
    INACT , CHIND
    FROM JCDS 
    WHERE MANDT = :A0 
    AND OBJNR BETWEEN :A1 AND :A2 
    AND INACT = :A3

    Hi,

    What are distinct values in same index? Did you analyze both?

    Thanks and regards,

    I am not sure what i am seeing different in your attached file is the cause of different explain plans

    In attached file SAP screen shot has query as
    select * from JCDS where .........

    In query which you are trying it has

    SELECT "MANDT" , "OBJNR" , "STAT" , "CHGNR" , "USNAM" , "UDATE" , "UTIME" , "TCODE" , "CDTCODE" , "INACT" , "CHIND"
    FROM "JCDS" WHERE .........

    Can you try explain plan in sql with "select * from JCDS where ...."

    Hi,

    Below is the explain for select *

    SQL> explain plan set statement_id='OCT30' for
    2 SELECT * FROM "JCDS" WHERE "MANDT" = 100 AND "OBJNR" BETWEEN 'VB*' AND 'VB99999999999999999999' AND "INACT" = ' ';

    Explained.

    | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes| Cost | Pstart| Pstop |
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | SELECT STATEMENT | | 2K| 136K| 121 | | |
    | TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROW|JCDS | 2K| 136K| 120 | | |

    I would stop looking at explain plans and start looking at traces.

    Execute/Trace query both from SAP and sqlplus, tkprof/check trace files for the naked truth.
