Guang -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Hostetter, Jay M Sent: Friday, August 06, 2004 3:32 PM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Tuning Query w/database link I am trying to help a developer tune a query that uses a database link. For testing purposes, I've broken the query down to the simple query shown below. TEST_VIEW is a remote view that joins three tables, which results in approximately 1 million rows. The query that Oracle passes to the remote database never has a predicate - it is always 'select * from test_view'. I have tried various hints, but I cannot get Oracle to use a predicate in the remote query. The user has to wait 6 minutes (or so) while the remote query pulls 1 million records to the local database. If I execute an explain plan for 'select * from test_view where a.alra_id=100001', an index is used an the query completes in milliseconds. Any thoughts on how I can help this user, without creating local snapshots of the tables? select * from test_view@remotenode <mailto:j@remotenode> a, project_accounting_costs b where a.alra_id=b.source_id and b.source_id=100001; Both databases are 8.1.7.3 on Tru64. Both databases have statistics computed and the optimizer_mode=CHOOSE. I've tried various hints including DRIVING_SITE, FIRST_ROWS, ALL_ROWS, INDEX, etc. I also put a hint in the remote view.
