Ryan,

After reading some of the other replies, and knowing how hard it can be to
convince a developer, I wonder if perhaps showing them the result of an an
extended SQL trace might help?  Set up an extended trace, run a DML with
'update all columns' and one of update selected columns. TKPROF the output,
maybe even do some 'walking the clock' analysis of the raw trace.

Subject: looking for doc with diagrams on redo and undo for java
developers


Object Oriented programming is all about reuse so our java guys made a
universal update statement that updates all columns in a table, even
unchanged columns. I know its bad, but its a major re-write to change this.
I was digging through the otn docs and some books and everything that leads
me to this requires a significant amount of reading. Multiple chapters
etc...
anyone know a short article that explains undo and redo along with diagrams
and why its bad to update unchanged columns that is easy for a non-oracle
person to follow? 

checked the concepts doc, but they would probably have to read 50-70 pages
to get the basic idea.
