I’m trying to determine the execution plan for a particular statement from rather big trace file (330MB). The traced session issued a CREATE TABLE AS with remote databases included in the query and creates a table 7.5GB in size. The local db is 10g R2. The remote db is 9.2.0.7.
I ran the trace file thru TKPROF (see attached) but the resulting plan info is not in a readable form : it seems to be using internal object id’s rather than the tables names.
Question 1 : Is there an easy way to get the plan in a readable form from the raw tracefile ??
The reason I ask, is because the plan used for the traced session resulted in an acceptable execution time. Since then, both local and remote databases have been changed (PGA AGG sizes, CPU added, memory added) and the plan used by Oracle now is less than optimal (terrible).
Note ****** Actually, the query has also changed (it now differs to the one in the tracefile) but I was able to get the new query to execute in < 2 hours before the db changes – unfortunately, I did not enable sql trace for that test.
I now see that the stats for the tables on the remote site are inaccurate so I used dbms_stats.set_table_stats to correct them in the hope that Oracle chooses the right plan. See below :
begin
dbms_stats.set_table_stats(ownname=>'EGET',tabname=>'WO_WALLET_MTM',partname=>'WO_WALLET_MTM_2006_05',numrows => 33319003);
dbms_stats.set_table_stats(ownname=>'EGET',tabname=>'WO_WALLET_MTM',partname=>'WO_WALLET_MTM_2006_06',numrows => 33894737);
dbms_stats.set_table_stats(ownname=>'EGET',tabname=>'WO_WALLET_MTM',partname=>'WO_WALLET_MTM_2006_07',numrows => 36661852);
dbms_stats.set_table_stats(ownname=>'EGET',tabname=>'WO_WALLET_MTM',partname=>'WO_WALLET_MTM_2006_08',numrows => 37233878);
dbms_stats.set_table_stats(ownname=>'EGET',tabname=>'WO_WALLET_MTM',partname=>'WO_WALLET_MTM_2006_09',numrows => 3423957);
dbms_stats.set_table_stats(ownname=>'EGET',tabname=>'WO_WALLET_MTM',partname=>'WO_WALLET_MTM_2006_10',numrows => 0);
dbms_stats.set_table_stats(ownname=>'EGET',tabname=>'WO_WALLET_MTM',partname=>'WO_WALLET_MTM_MAX',numrows => 0);
dbms_stats.set_table_stats(ownname=>'EGET',tabname=>'WO_WALLET_MASTER_TRANS',partname=>'WO_WALLET_MT_2006_05',numrows => 33319003);
dbms_stats.set_table_stats(ownname=>'EGET',tabname=>'WO_WALLET_MASTER_TRANS',partname=>'WO_WALLET_MT_2006_06',numrows => 33894737);
dbms_stats.set_table_stats(ownname=>'EGET',tabname=>'WO_WALLET_MASTER_TRANS',partname=>'WO_WALLET_MT_2006_07',numrows => 36661852);
dbms_stats.set_table_stats(ownname=>'EGET',tabname=>'WO_WALLET_MASTER_TRANS',partname=>'WO_WALLET_MT_2006_08',numrows => 37233878);
dbms_stats.set_table_stats(ownname=>'EGET',tabname=>'WO_WALLET_MASTER_TRANS',partname=>'WO_WALLET_MT_2006_09',numrows => 3423957);
dbms_stats.set_table_stats(ownname=>'EGET',tabname=>'WO_WALLET_MASTER_TRANS',partname=>'WO_WALLET_MT_2006_10',numrows => 0);
dbms_stats.set_table_stats(ownname=>'EGET',tabname=>'WO_WALLET_MASTER_TRANS',partname=>'WO_WALLET_MT_MAX',numrows => 0);
end;

Question 2 : Is this enough ? When I run get the explain plan (see below) from the local site, the cardinality for the tables listed above does not seem to add up (I expect in the region of 100 million + rows from each table)

The 2 tables (on the remote site) above are range partitioned tables on the created_timestamp column. They are joined (using >=) on the this partition key and a PK / FK key. Here’s the query :
SELECT
mwwm.amount,
mwwm.created_timestamp,
mwwm.direction,
wgab.pk_gaming_account_balance_id fk_gaming_account_balance_id,

eget.wo_gaming_account_balance wgab,
(SELECT wwm.amount,
wwm.created_timestamp,
amount_type direction,
wwm.fk_wallet_master_trans_id,
wwm.modified_timestamp,
wwm.status,
wwm.trans_index,
wwm.VERSION,
wwmt.created_timestamp me_created_timestamp,
wa.pk_account_id,
wwmt.trans_type,
wwm.monetary_resource_id
FROM wo_wallet_mtm@egetold2 wwm,
wo_wallet_master_trans@egetold2 wwmt,
wo_wallet@egetold2 ww,
wo_account@egetold2 wa
WHERE wwmt.created_timestamp >
TO_DATE('30.MAY.2006 00:00:00',
'dd.MON.yyyy HH24:MI:SS')
AND wwm.created_timestamp >= wwmt.created_timestamp
AND ww.pk_wallet_id = wwmt.fk_wallet_id
AND wwmt.pk_wallet_master_trans_id =
wwm.fk_wallet_master_trans_id
AND ww.fk_player_id = wa.fk_player_id) mwwm
WHERE wgab.fk_gaming_account_id = mwwm.pk_account_id
AND tvm.owner = 'EGET'
AND tvm.table_name = 'WO_EVENT'
AND tvm.column_name = 'TRANS_TYPE'
AND mwwm.monetary_resource_id = tvm.x_column_value
AND mwwm.status = tvm.x_src_value
AND tvm.src_value = mwwm.trans_type
AND mwwm.monetary_resource_id <> wgab.fk_monetary_resource_id
The other two remote tables (wo_wallet and wo_account) contain around 230,000 rows
T_MERGE_VALUE_MAP contains 300 rows
wo_gaming_account_balance 230,000 rows
Question 3 : Does the plan suggested by Oracle look reasonable ?? or would it be better to use hints to get Oracle to do the right thing ! Could someone suggest a suitable execution plan based on the information contained herein?? (SORT MERGE for the two big tables and then HASH JOINS for the subsequent joins with the smaller tables ??)
Thanks in advance

Hi
Why do You set the statistics, instead of gathering them?
There are many more information that the optimizer can gather, so this may be why You do not get the performance You need.
Try to replace the mwwm part with a view on the remote database, so that it returns the result from the inner view, instead.
You also have a MERGE JOIN CARTESIAN. That *could* be what is slowing You down.
Hints:
Hints are aa last resort - they limit the optimizer.
If You upgrade to say 11g, do You then go through al Your code to find the hints that are not needed anymore, or maybe even slow You down now? (I have not heard of any doing this)
(Try to) use hints only for finding out what is wrong, then fix it, and remove the hints.
Performance:
Look at Your session's waits and in v$session_longops to find out what You are waiting for.

ok, thanks for the message - i'll try the view.
I used dbms_stats.set_table_stats just as a quick fix - the stats were wrong so I wanted to see if setting them would help (give the optimizer better information than it had before) and i didnt want to wait !
I agree - hints are the last resort but this was the last resort !!! - I put them in for the purpose of the test.
This code is a one-off data migration project - i would never do this in day-to-day production code.
