Is the option to put the query in a job, which you schedule? A job always runs in de serversite and will not give round trips.

If this what you are after? eg. select COUNT(non-indexed-column) from ( your query ); Regards, Vishal Gupta http://www.vishalgupta.com ________________________________ From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Hemant K Chitale Sent: Tue 03/02/2009 14:15 To: sjaffarhussain@xxxxxxxxx; hkchital@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Executing a query for the output without doing the SQLNet round trips That could reduce the number of round-trips yes. But I am doing a local (BEQ) connection. Also, I really want to eliminate all round-trips but still have Oracle fetch all the rows and columns.
