Is it a hash cluster or an index cluster ?

What is the cluster key ?



What's the index definition for the index being used

Can you report the actual execution plan - including predicate section.

Hi All,


Oracle 10.2.0.5
AIX 6.1

We have this select statement on a table that is in a cluster by itself and has 
an index on it.


if we run the following version of our select it uses the index and returns 2 
rows

SELECT  distinct(m.channel_number)
FROM table_x m
where m.channel_number=503
and m.metering_system_sid=53799
AND m.gmt_day = to_date('10-09-2013','dd-mm-yyyy')
AND m.VERSION = 1

501     <---- wrong result as we specifically wan t only 503
503


If we force it to use full table scan it returns 1 row

SELECT /*+ full(m) parallel(m 8) */  distinct(m.channel_number)
FROM table_x m
where m.channel_number=503
and m.metering_system_sid=53799
AND m.gmt_day = to_date('10-09-2013','dd-mm-yyyy')
AND m.VERSION = 1

503

Which is correct. this assumes something is not quite right with index, correct?


We have dropped and recreated the index but that was no joy.
I have tried to find something on metalink that would point to possible bug, 
but my searches have not come up with anything worthwhile.

Can anybody else shed some light on this
