If your row/key counts are substantially different please gather fresh stats and start again.

Thank You PAVB.
Sorry for bothering You but only quick question regarding this.
Someone has adviced me that creating materialized view and setting query rewrite may be good solution (this query is hardcoded in application - i can't change it).
What do you think about this ?
