Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Primary Key seems to be harmful for performance
Gene,
Unless we are looking at different plans, I see index being used:
INDEX UNIQUE SCAN CALL_CNTR_EMPL_PK 1 1 17 (1, 5, ) in both plans, and no table scan on CALL_CNTR_EMPL table.
Like I said before, the only difference is in the order/place of the tables in hash joins.

Igor,
The index that makes a difference is CALL_CNTR_EMPL_PK. Is it used in the "slow" query, while in the "fast" one the table is accessed via the full table scan
thank you

RE: Primary Key seems to be

Gene,
From your execution plans (both: "fast" and "slow") it looks like Primary Key on CALL_CNTR_EMPL_MTHLY_HIST table has nothing to do with your problem - in both cases CALL_CNTR_EMPL_MTHLY_HIST accessed through "full table scan".
The difference is in tables order/place used in "nested" hash joins: the pairing of tables in hash joins is different.
I wonder, if modifying HASH_AREA_SIZE parameter would help (or PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET, if WORKAREA_SIZE_POLICY is set to AUTO).

OK.
I was initially looking for a quick hint as to what could it all mean and didn't want to clutter my Email with explain plans. However if seeing the plans would help, I'm providing them with thanks to all who replied to my Emails - Kevin, Igor, Stephen, Nuno, Wolfgang. The version of the DB is 9204. Here is the SQL:
select distinct Call_Center_Operations_Center.OPERS_CNTR_DSC c1,
Shift_Calendar_Dimension.FULL_MTH_YR_NM1 c2 from CCSREP.OPERS_CNTR_CDE Call_Center_Operations_Center, ( select Calendar__for_Shift_Date_.DY_TM_PERD_KEY DY_TM_PERD_KEY,
MTH_TM_PERD__for_Shift_Month_.FULL_MTH_YR_NM FULL_MTH_YR_NM1 from TELSREP.DY_TM_PERD Calendar__for_Shift_Date_,
TELSREP.MTH_TM_PERD MTH_TM_PERD__for_Shift_Month_
where

MTH_TM_PERD_KEY)

from TELSREP.CALL_CNTR_EMPL CALL_CNTR_EMPL,
TELSREP.CALL_CNTR_EMPL_MTHLY_HIST CALL_CNTR_EMPL_MTHLY_HIST where CALL_CNTR_EMPL_MTHLY_HIST.EMPL_KEY=CALL_CNTR_EMPL.EMPL_KEY
group by CALL_CNTR_EMPL.EMPL_KEY,
CALL_CNTR_EMPL_MTHLY_HIST.SHFT_MTH_TM_PERD_KEY) T3,

In order to switch from "slow" to "fast" I have replaced this line
where CALL_CNTR_EMPL_MTHLY_HIST.EMPL_KEY=CALL_CNTR_EMPL.EMPL_KEY
with this one:
where CALL_CNTR_EMPL_MTHLY_HIST.EMPL_KEY+0=CALL_CNTR_EMPL.EMPL_KEY
The size of this table is about 9000 rows if that helps.
Again, thanks for any and all help
thank you

Please respond to

It would most definitely help if we had
a) the Oracle version.release.patchlevel b) the sql c) the two plans d) the statistics on the tables/indexes/columns involved e) all the session environment parameters
in the absence of that any advice/attempt to explain is just poking in the dark. Guesswork at best - like the recipes for wartremoval which involve toads, crossroads, certain moonphases and other magical ingredients. But hey go ahead and stroke your sql with a toad. Let me know if it worked.
