All -
I have not done tuning a great deal so bear with me. I currently have a table that consists of 10 million rows - warehouse. The largest table I have. A few months ago a query took around 30 minutes to run against this table. This was acceptable. Now the query takes almost 5 hours!!!
The db is 9.2.0.4 running on aix 5.2. I have stats that I ran on the db during the query run and it shows the db working but not maxed out. The tablespace is at 75% used, not seeing waits. There is alot of disk reads. No disk sorts. I am seeing a high 'Physical Blks per Read %' but I am attrbiuting that to the datafiles being on one disk. I do plan on rearranging them after the query finishes and hope this helps.
I am looking for other ideas of what could be wrong with the table or places to look. I will continue to search for ideas at metalink and in the books.
