AW: time consuming UPDATE statement

Justin, (and Jonathan)

I removed the Trunc on both sides. I realized a run time of 19 mins =
now.
Still heavy but faster :-)

Referring to your sugg. with the SQL version...... I am not quite sure =
how
to do that, as the sums that
are built, are out of up to 9 (or less) rows of data within the =
cur_move
cursor.....

but I will think a bit more on that

anyway, TNX guy's

Betreff: RE: time consuming UPDATE statement

My hunch here would be that there are two problems:

1) You're applying a function to one of the columns in the WHERE =
clause,
trunc(Sellt), which will force Oracle to do a full table scan to
identify the row to be updated. =3D20
2) You are doing in a PL/SQL cursor loop what ought to be done in SQL.
If you were to recode this as a few SQL statements, rather than as a
cursor loop, you would vastly reduce the number of times that
MonTransRateInc needs to be scanned.  In the PL/SQL version, there will
be one full table scan for every row in the cur_move cursor-- if you
rewrite it as a single SQL statement, you'll only need to full scan the
table once. =3D20

Subject: time consuming UPDATE statement

Hi Gurus,

sorry for the long posting, but I am kinda lost.........

In the below procedure, there is an Update Stement. This is so
timeconsuming, that the whole procedure takes 1 1/2 hrs to complete. If
the
UPDATE is removed, the whole thing is done in 3-4 mins. So there is
nothing
else eating up the time, but the Update....

BUT WHY ?????????

I am on Oracle 7.3.4

Any hints are very welcome

Frank
