Hi,

Our application servers will be running a SELECT which returns zero rows all the time( Know this is bit stupid Sad

)

This SELECT is put into a package and this package will be called by application servers very frequently which is causing unnecessary CPU.

Original query and plan

 SQL> SELECT SEGMENT_JOB_ID, SEGMENT_SET_JOB_ID, SEGMENT_ID, TARGET_VERSION
FROM AIMUSER.SEGMENT_JOBS
WHERE  SEGMENT_JOB_ID NOT IN
(SELECT SEGMENT_JOB_ID
FROM AIMUSER.SEGMENT_JOBS)  2    3    4    5  ;

no rows selected

Which option will be better or do we have other options?
They need to pass the column's with zero rows to a ref cursor.

Thanks,
Arun

1 recursive call in Q1, none in Q2. Number of bytes in full table scan is also no comparison.

We must know though, WHY is this silliness being allowed? Whoever "thinks" this is necessary really has some screws loose. Sounds like another clueless manager who needs to be reassigned. I cannot think of a reason for the silly maneuver, but please tell us the reason for it. Who knows, I could be completely wrong here and am willing to accept that.

Hi Michel,

Thanks for the response.

Is this what you think. I'm not so clear.

SQL> SELECT SEGMENT_JOB_ID, SEGMENT_SET_JOB_ID, SEGMENT_ID, TARGET_VERSION FROM AIMUSER.SEGMENT_JOBS WHERE NULL=NULL;

no rows selected

Hi Joy,

Thanks.Even I'm not sure about the requirement for this.As far as I know, they need to pass the structure to the ref cursor.And the rows from the table will be deleted on regular intervals as when jobs are completed.Even I'm in search of the coder who developed this

Thanks,
Arun
