Hi all, I want to copy data from 1 table to another, after some processing. The source table has 4 million reocrds and after the processing, it gets reduced to 1 million and I want to put them in the destination table. I tried using BULK COLLECT - FORALL and also COPY command, they are all slow and I hence believe that the bottleneck is in the filtering clause. Here is the query and table structure:
select util.entry, port.eqp_id, port.port_id,
util.router, util.if_name, util.inbitssec, util.outbitssec
from bam_util util, tg_eqp_slot_port port, tg_eqp eqp
where ltrim(rtrim(upper(util.router))) = ltrim(rtrim(upper(eqp.router_name))) and
eqp.eqp_id = port.eqp_id and
ltrim(rtrim(upper(util.if_name))) = ltrim(rtrim(upper(port.interfacename)));
BAM_UTIL :
Name Null? Type
----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
ENTRY NOT NULL DATE
ROUTER NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
IF_NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
INBITSSEC NUMBER(38)
OUTBITSSEC NUMBER(38)
INOCTETS NUMBER
OUTOCTETS NUMBER
This is the source table, having 4 million entries. I have 2 indexes on this table, one on the following columns
ENTRY ASC,
ROUTER ASC,
IF_NAME ASC,
INBITSSEC ASC,
OUTBITSSEC ASC
and another primary constraint on
ENTRY , ROUTER and IF_NAME .
TG_EQP_SLOT_PORT has around 20,000 records with one unique index on port_id.
TG_EQP has 800 records with one unique index on eqp_id.
Also, the tables are in NOLOGGING option and I have disabled all the constraints/indexes on the destination table.
Do I have to use any of those PARALLEL / special big rollback segment features ?
What else do I need to add to make this query faster. Is filtering the real culprit here or am I overlooking something ? Any insight is greatly appreciated !!
I am using Oracle 8.1.7 on Solaris.
Shiva.

Try using CBO and send the Explain plan with CBO.

All the 3 tables have statistics computed.
Why is the index on BAM_UTIL not being used in the table scan ?
Thanks,
Shiva.

Shiva,
Cost is very high. Try using indexes by removing ltrim, rtrim, upper and then see the cost.
Thanks,

Sam, I did an Index rebuild and also tried your suggestion (without the string functions)

5 3 TABLE ACCESS (FULL) OF 'BAM_UTIL' (Cost=3621 Card=4196315 Bytes=138478395)
The COST is the same, but CARD & BYTES have gone down.
I would really like to know why the index on BAM_UTIL is not being used..

Shiva,
Analyze all tables, indexes involved.
select
util.entry,
port.eqp_id,
port.port_id,
util.router,
util.if_name,
util.inbitssec,
util.outbitssec
from
bam_util util,
tg_eqp_slot_port port,
tg_eqp eqp
where
util.router = eqp.router_name
and util.if_name = port.interfacename;
and eqp.eqp_id = port.eqp_id
Check whether columns used in the where clause (util.router, util.if_name) are part of index columns and are they in the begining part?
Thanks,
-
Create these index on table.
UTIL
router
if_names
EQP
router_name
eqp_id
PORT
eqp_id
interfacename
Create one index for each of the above columns and do not use any function in where clause. Indexes will not be used if any function is used on the indexed column, in where clause.
If functions are required then try to use function based indexes.

Sanjay, I definitely need those functions. So I have created 2 function based indexes :
create index f_bam_util_router on
bam_util trim(upper(router));
create index f_bam_util_ifname on
bam_util trim(upper(if_name));
and used the query :
select util.entry, port.eqp_id, port.port_id,
trim(upper(util.router)), trim(upper(util.if_name)),
util.inbitssec, util.outbitssec
from bam_util util, tg_eqp_slot_port port,
tg_eqp eqp
where trim(upper(util.router)) = eqp.router_name and
eqp.eqp_id = port.eqp_id and
trim(upper(util.if_name)) = port.interfacename;
and here is the cost :
Execution Plan
----------------------------------------------------------
0 SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer=ALL_ROWS (Cost=3702 Card=88812 Bytes=5328720)
1 0 HASH JOIN (Cost=3702 Card=88812 Bytes=5328720)
2 1 TABLE ACCESS (FULL) OF 'TG_EQP_SLOT_PORT' (Cost=29 Card=20673 Bytes=227403)
3 1 HASH JOIN (Cost=3625 Card=4196315 Bytes=205619435)
4 3 TABLE ACCESS (FULL) OF 'TG_EQP' (Cost=2 Card=774 Bytes=12384)
5 3 TABLE ACCESS (FULL) OF 'BAM_UTIL' (Cost=3621 Card=4196315 Bytes=138478395)
It is still higher than the cost without the functions. Let me try running the updates seperately and then run the query without the functions !! What else am I missing here ?
