Very good document. thanks.

I don't think so: it is outdated, inaccurate and contains flaws. It's not terrible but I wouldn't call it a 'very good' document.

myth number one

Contrary to popular belief COUNT(*) is faster than count(1). If the rows are being returned via an index, counting the indexed column - for example count(EMPNO) is faster still.

Where did you find this document?

myth number two

51. Use explicit cursors
When implicit cursors are used, two calls are made to the database:,once to fetch the record and then to check for the TOO MANY ROWS exception. Explicit cursors prevent that second call.

Implying that explicit cursors are faster...

I hope you didn't write it yourself.

Please stop posting and reposting this document. It contains some useful information, but also errors and statements that generalize and don't always hold.
Besides, it was posted in some other forums already.
