Performance tuning of PL/SQL Procedure [message #494302]

Hi,
I want to update two fields, owner_accnt_loc and owner_accnt_name of the table eim_asset from the output of this query. (Please note, 2.7 Million records are present in this table and ALL need to be updated)

select b.par_accnt_name,b.par_accnt_loc from eim_account b,eim_asset a
where a.ast_bill_accntname = b.name and
b.accnt_type_cd = 'Billing'
AND b.par_accnt_name IS NOT NULL
AND b.par_accnt_loc IS NOT NULL

Updating the table using normal DML commands was getting cumbersome, so I tried this PL/SQL procedure. (Attached to the message).

However, this code is also taking a huge time. (3 minutes per record!!)

I am quite lost now, please could you show me a more performance friendly way to do this?

Regards,
Santrupta

How? PL/SQL is BAD in this case, just use a SQL statement.

Expected behaviour, row by row is slow by slow.
In addition, your procedure is wrong as it updates ALL rows at each loop.

Hi Michel,
Thanks for your reply.

Thanks for this, I was dumb enough not to look at it that way.

Even though I used IS NOT NULL in the where clause of the select query I provided in my first post, NULL values are still getting into the fields. Any idea how or why this would happen?

I found a couple of lines on google that suggested me to load the table in REPLACE mode. How do I do that?

Santrupta

Best way would be to rebuild the table with CTAS.

If you don't want to do that, here is an article that compares a bunch of different update methods.

As you didn't post your original statement, we can't know what is wrong.

Hi Michel,
The update statement is :

update eim_asset a
set owner_accnt_name = (select b.par_accnt_name from eim_account b
where a.ast_bill_accntname = b.name and
b.accnt_type_cd = 'Billing' AND b.par_accnt_name IS NOT NULL)

Please read OraFAQ Forum Guide, especially "How to format your post?" section.
Make sure that lines of code do not exceed 80 characters when you format.
Indent the code, use code tags and align the columns in result.
Use the "Preview Message" button to verify.

WHERE clause is missing this is why you have NULL.

update eim_asset a
set owner_accnt_name = ( select b.par_accnt_name 
                         from eim_account b
                         where a.ast_bill_accntname = b.name 
                           and b.accnt_type_cd = 'Billing' 
                           AND b.par_accnt_name IS NOT NULL ) 
where exists ( select null
               from eim_account b
               where a.ast_bill_accntname = b.name 
                 and b.accnt_type_cd = 'Billing' 
                 AND b.par_accnt_name IS NOT NULL )

MERGE might be a better choice in this case.

Michel

Hi Michel,
Thanks a lot.

Can you please help me with one last query on this?

Can we use a WHERE or AND clause for the UPDATE query after the WHERE EXISTS?

I am trying this but does not work.

update eim_asset a
set owner_accnt_name = ( select b.par_accnt_name 
                         from eim_account b
                         where a.ast_bill_accntname = b.name 
                           and b.accnt_type_cd = 'Billing' 
                           AND b.par_accnt_name IS NOT NULL ) 
where exists ( select null
               from eim_account b
               where a.ast_bill_accntname = b.name 
                 and b.accnt_type_cd = 'Billing' 
                 AND b.par_accnt_name IS NOT NULL ) and if_row_batch_num between 1 and 909

Yes you can if what you want to add is valid, I don't know what is your "if_row_batch_num".

Hi Michel,
We have batch loading. So, the if_row_batch_num field is the batch number.

I hope I answered your question.

Is it a column? In which table?
When you say it doesn't work, what exactly do you mean? Are you getting an error? The wrong results?

Remember - we know nothing about your tables and data except what you tell us. We can not help you further without more information.
