Did you got statistics?, execute this for every table and try again and show us if something changed. exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats( table,'T') ----- Original Message ----- From: Huascar Espinoza To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: VChoque Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2004 9:35 AM Subject: RE: Oracle Performance To realize the test, we have the basic following structure (similar on Oracle 9i and SQL Server 7.0): · Table "SC_FACTURACION" have the following indexes: a.. COD_IMPORTACION b.. NRO_FACTURACION c.. COD_FACTURA_ESTIMADA d.. COD_FACTURA_REFACTURADA e.. COD_MOTIVO_ESTIMACION f.. COD_NIVEL_CALIDAD. · Table "GE_HISTORICO_IMPORTACION" has 30 registers. · Table "SC_FACTURACION" has 1,885,618 registers. On 'SC_FACTURACION' we execute the following SQL sentences: 1.. SELECT COUNT(NRO_FACTURACION) FROM SC_FACTURACION WHERE COD_IMPORTACION = '14' AND COD_NIVEL_CALIDAD = '1' 2.. SELECT MAX(NRO_FACTURACION) FROM SC_FACTURACION WHERE COD_IMPORTACION = '14' AND COD_NIVEL_CALIDAD = '1' 3..
