For this type of query I would user the analytical function row_number to
find the correct eff_dt per the other criteria and then join that query as
an inline view. This way it runs once instead of many times, you could
probably see a 2-3 order of magnitude performance increase if the tables are
large as they tend to be in peoplesoft.

Subject: theory of rewriting a query


Just off the top of anyones head going more for the theoretical side,
can anyone suggest a better way to write the below peoplesoft query.   I
believe this uses a lot of temp tablespace, and something tells me the
subqueries are an issue.

Maybe not, but would you in general unravel the subqueries and do it
another way?   Same type of querie I see a lot uses union all half a
dozen times.

Just wondering
