Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: FULL TABLE SCAN?
At great personal risk, I will tell you some secrets.
There are many options.
1) Don't query data. To really enforce this, remove select, insert, update
and delete privileges from all users.
2) If you must query data, use an index and only an index. Create indexes
that cover all possible combinations of data in the table.
3) If you see a FULL TABLE SCAN coming your way, grab your cellphone and
appear to be in deep conversation with someone and totally oblivious to
everything around you (this is especially good when driving in heavy
traffic).
4) If the FULL TABLE SCAN comes up to you and begins talking, pretend like
you don't speak SQL.
And, just so I am not crucified by those with 0 sense of humor... read the previous posts on FTS!
