Hi,

�I am storing spatial regions�inside the data base. The data is very simple in form. That is each region is a small rectangle. The boundaries of rectangle touch each other but they do not overlap.

� I use the SDO_FILTER query to find regions inside the data base that intersect a particular line. I have around�25000 objects in the database.

�The problem is that when the result of the query is large (70% of the tuples) that means there are many regions in the cache that intersect the line, the amount of time it takes is a lot more than if I do the same without using the R Tree.

�I can do it without using the R Tree because all my objects are rectangles. I store the the left bottom and the top right corner of the rectangle in the data base. And then use a simple range query.

�Is this behaviour expected?�should I use an R Tree index structure, or something else.�I know that when the result is very large�the R Tree search will have to search many sub trees to retrieve the�data points.�But should the performance be worse than a�sequential scan?

�Or will indexes only work for cases where the selectivity of the query is high?�

�Please reply I need help,

Nishant
