I have a query which is searching a whole table to find the duplicate values in it. It is taking a long time to give the o/p (sometimes even 30min). Can some one help me to tune the query to effectly retrive the records.
Thanks,
Sunil Satapathy

Ya my query is like this:
SELECT * FROM emp A
WHERE rowid >
(SELECT min(rowid) FROM emp B
WHERE B.emp_ID = A.emp_ID
and B.dept_id = A.dept_id
and B.sal = A.sal
and B.DOB = A.DOB
and ((B.ADDR_CD = A.ADDR_CD) or (B.ADDR_CD is null and A.ADDR_CD is null) )
and B.END_TMS is NULL and A.END_TMS is NULL);
Now can you please suggest now how I'll retrive the query faster.

I think the SQL which reads the entire table to get a few rows hence I have a lot of unnecessary I/O that is not filling the SGA. I have a billions of records in the table.
Is there any way that I could optimise it. Can I use any other query instead.
Thanks,

NO
IS NULL forces Full Table Scan (FTS).

Are you sure about that?
Surely if the other join fields are indexed as the leading columns (in this case emp_id, dept_id, sal, dob) , it will perform index range scan.

And the OP then leaves outta frustation.
You guys need to revive forum rules
or change your approach answering questions.

In whichh way? I see nothing in your post that can help us to do it and you are welcome to expose your thoughts in Suggestions & Feedback forum.
Anyway, if someone does not want to read the guide, does not follow the guide or does not reply to the questions we ask to help him, I do not see any way to make him/her answer and he/she is the ONLY responsible of his/her frustation.

Don't try to paint everything with the same brush.
Your approach was definetly not appropriate.There are other ways to
handle things.You cannot always be tit for tat.
