Re: speed this up?

Hi Guang
  You may have to do self join. I don't know about selectivity of 'column2> some_value' predicate and so, this rewritten version could be worse. Also, make sure that it uses index on column2 using explain plan..

create table tmp_table nologging as
select distinct column1 from table1 t1 where column2 > some_value and exists (

    select 1 from table1 t2 where t1.column1 = t2.column1 and t2.column2> some_value

     and t1.row_id != t2.row_id)
;

Since I only need to check if the count(*) is large than 1, is there a way (say to use rownum somehow ) so that when count(*) gets up to 2, it stop counting (using stopkey), therefore I can have the above query run faster?
