Re: Query with buffer (sorts) taking age to complete.

Thanks list for your interest in solving the issue.

However, I have resolved the issues. I took trace event 10053 with level 1 on AIX as well HP-SUPERDOM and quick to spot that the parameter 'query_rewirte_enabled' was set to FALS on HPSUPERDOM. I changed it to TRUE and the sql runs like as its was.

Thanks once again to all.
