Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> sql tuning help
Hi,
Oracle 8.1.6 NT 4.0
I have a rather complex query a developer gave to me to try to improve
performance.
There are 3 tables used. All relevant columns used are indexed. The tables
have been analyzed
SQLWKS> select count(*) from physicians; COUNT(*)
340043
1 row selected.
SQLWKS> select count(*) from boards;
COUNT(*)
220
1 row selected.
SQLWKS> select count(*) from phy_boards;
COUNT(*)
450674
Below is the sql statement and explain plan. I see one FTS on 440,000+ records but cannot tell exactly what statement it is and how to resolve
Any suggestions on how to optimize is appreciated.
Thanks
Rick
