Please do not cross-post

run an explain plan and look to see how Oracle is solving the query

Make sure the Oracle statistics are up to date

run an explain plan on the query after updaing the statistics and compare to the prior explain

switch the session to all_rows

re-run the explain plan

Now tune the SQL
