Hi! I have this table with ~4,000,000 entries When i do a SELECT COUNT(*) FROM TABLE_NAME it takes 4 hours to give me the result, this is way too much Im running Oracle 9.2.0.4.0 on RedHat AS 3 These are my first experiences with Oracle, so I have no clue how to fix this query time... Any help would be nice regards Jordi ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at //www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
