I ran into this situation a few years back. I don't remember all the details
but the summary is that the while under the scheduler the query got a
different explain plan than when run by the same user via any other tool
(sqlplus/toad etc). Our traces showed identical execution plans but when we
queried some of the v$tables which escape me at the moment we saw that it
was doing a full scan rather than an index scan. Our solution was adding an
primary key onto an existing unique index.
Your solution will depend on what plan is actually being executed but you may want to try adding a materialize hint to the sub-query(s) or breaking out the sub-query into its own global temporary table and then running the query against the GTT.
The query itself is a bit confusing as table X joins to D which joins to E which joins to view C which joins back to X. Simplifying the query should enhance the stability of the query plan. I recommend changing
and d.item_no = x.item_code
and c.item_no = x.item_code
to
and d.item_no = x.item_code
and c.item_no = d.item_code
removing the circular nature of the code.
I'm sure you know this but I would be amiss if I didn't mention that by not having a where clause on the update statement any rows in ele_product x that are not returned by the subquery will get a null written into first_fob_price even if there is a value already.

Subject: Extreme slowdown of update statement
Hi, listers
Oracle EE 10.2.0.4 64bit, Linux
We have some update statement (part of PL/SQL procedure) that may run for less than a minute if executed from SQL*Plus prompt or may take ~30 minutes if executed as a DBMS_SCHEDULER scheduled job. TKPROF output is pasted below.
What could be the reason for this behaviour? Is there some "slowdown" imposed by DBMS_SCHEDULER?
All insights are welcomed,
Vladimir Barac
