Hi,
I have been trying to execute the following query using TOAD/SQL plus. I am getting terrible performence. Since I am quite new to this SQL environment, I couldn't figure it out problem with either data base side ( no proper indexes etc) or SQL. Please review the sql and suggest me to improve it.

SQL:
select a.ab_nbr, from can_sal_summ a
left outer join coo_msg b
on
to_char(ab_create_dt_tm,'mm/yyyy') = to_char(add_months(sysdate,-1), 'mm/yyyy')
and
to_char(msg_rcv_gmt,'yyyymm') >= to_char(add_months(sysdate,-1),'yyyymm')
and to_char(msg_rcv_gmt,'yyyymm') <= to_char(add_months(sysdate,-0),'yyyymm')
and msg_type = 'FAA'
and dup_ind = 'N'
and a.prod_type not in ('AB', 'CA')
AND a.HSURR_ID = '*'
AND a.comdty_desc not like '%CLOTH%' AND a.COMDTY_DESC not LIKE 'COMAT'
and a.shipper_nm not like 'CALI%'
and a.shipper_nm not like 'ILLI%'

I am not surprised by your statement that it is slow.
The use of function in the WHERE clause precludes use of any index.
Use of sting wildcard ("%") prevent use of index.

Follow the suggestions given in the URL below:

Trace it, run it through TK*Prof, post the results here including the Explain Plan and stepwise row counts.
