Deleting 2.3 million rows takes time especially in 65 million rows table.
The way I might handle this is load a global temporary table with the values
returned by the subquery and "create table as select " a new table with the
data you want  add the index and them swap the names. If that is not an
option try loading the values into a temp table and then doing the delete
with a not in and add an index to the runseq field.

Subject: Delete Performance Issue
 
Hi,
 We are facing a serious performance 
issue.  This is a delete statement and 
it takes 4 hours to delete 2.3 million 
rows from a 65 million row table. 
The c_trace table has only one index 
(the primary key) The table is not 
partitioned (we don't have the budget 
to pay for partition option) Other tables
 have less than 5000 rows.  
The sub-query returns 3 to 6 rows 
depending on the values
Query
delete from c_trace
 where targetperiod= 200612
 and RUNSEQ in (select 
 RunSeq from   C_Run pr,
               C_Summary ss,
               C_Stage st
      where  pr.RunSeq = ss.RunSeq
                and    ss.stageType = st.stageType
                and    st.name = 'load' 
              and    pr.period = 361
       and    ss.Active   = 'yes')

 The V$session_longops shows
  1  select OPNAME||' '||MESSAGE||' '||ELAPSED_SECONDS  from
v$session_longops
  2* where sql_hash_value=2467621466
SQL> /
OPNAME||''||MESSAGE||''||ELA

Looks like it takes 14050 seconds to complete the hash join which
matches the time taken to complete the delete.

Statistics are current..  
We are using ASSM  for these tables.  
I would really appreciate any ideas to improve this statement.  We cannot do
a event trace 
here until mid of January next year because we are behind the SLA and don't
want to make it slower.

Don
