Folks Qs What Options exist to avoid FTS on GAM in the below SQL Query? NOTE - GAM Table was RE-Created & RE-Analyzed again about 15 Days After EAB. db_file_multiblock_read_count=16 - should it be reduced to 8? NOTE - GAM PARTITION BY RANGE ("SOL_ID") - has 13 indexs - Index 1 - Unique index on ACID EAB PARTITION BY RANGE ("ACID") - has 2 indexes - Index 1 - Unique index ( acid, eod_date ), Index 2 - (end_eod_date,acid,eod_date) SELECT COUNT(*), NVL(SUM(EAB.TRAN_DATE_BAL),:"SYS_B_0") , GAM.acct_crncy_code FROM GAM, EAB WHERE GAM.ACID = EAB.ACID AND GAM.del_flg != :"SYS_B_1" AND GAM.entity_cre_flg = :"SYS_B_2" AND GAM.acct_prefix = :"SYS_B_3" AND GAM.acct_num = :"SYS_B_4" AND GAM.acct_crncy_code = :"SYS_B_5" AND EAB.eod_date <= TO_DATE(:"SYS_B_6" , :"SYS_B_7" ) AND EAB.end_eod_date >= TO_DATE(:"SYS_B_8" , :"SYS_B_9") GROUP BY GAM.acct_crncy_code call count cpu elapsed disk query current rows ------- ------ -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Parse 1 0.00 0.00 0 0 0 0 Execute 1 0.01 0.00 0 0 0 0 Fetch 1 231.70 377.55 3009679 3011675 0 0 ------- ------ -------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- total 3 231.71 377.56 3009679 3011675 0 0 Misses in library cache during parse: 1 Misses in library cache during execute: 1 Optimizer mode: CHOOSE Parsing user id: 18 (TBAADM) Rows Row Source Operation ------- --------------------------------------------------- 0 SORT GROUP BY NOSORT (cr=3011675 pr=3009679 pw=0 time=377555388 us) 0 TABLE ACCESS BY LOCAL INDEX ROWID EOD_ACCT_BAL_TABLE (cr=3011675 pr=3009679 pw=0 time=377555361 us) 1 NESTED LOOPS (cr=3011675 pr=3009679 pw=0 time=377555338 us) 0 PARTITION RANGE ALL PARTITION: 1 16 (cr=3011675 pr=3009679 pw=0 time=377555329 us) 0 TABLE ACCESS FULL GENERAL_ACCT_MAST_TABLE PARTITION: 1 16 (cr=3011675 pr=3009679 pw=0 time=377555131 us) 0 PARTITION RANGE ITERATOR PARTITION: KEY KEY (cr=0 pr=0 pw=0 time=0 us) 0 INDEX RANGE SCAN IDX_EOD_ACCT_BAL_TABLE PARTITION: KEY KEY (cr=0 pr=0 pw=0 time=0 us)(object id 93112) **************** CAUTION - Disclaimer ***************** This e-mail contains PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).
