That doesn't seem to tally with any of your plans - neither
has both id 5 and 6 with an asterisk. May you please
check it out and repost both plans with the predicate infos ?

It would also interesting to know num_distinct, num_null and density
(from dba_tab_columns) for the columns
acct_id, forward_surrogate_id and surrogate_id.

450k out of 70M - that's 0.6%. Maybe an index on
acct_id, forward_surrogate_id
may help the first selection, and another on
surrogate_id, forward_surrogate_id
*might* help the hierarchy visit (or at least turn the FTS
into an index FFS). Why not giving it a shot.

How many levels, on average, has your connect by ?

I meant gathering at 100% just to experiment, not as standard
practice - even if 70million is not very big, but of course it depends
on the HW and the other activities on the system.

Got it:

Predicate Information (identified by operation id):

   2 - filter("from$_subquery$_001"."RN"=1)
   3 - filter(ROW_NUMBER() OVER ( PARTITION BY
SUBSTR("from$_subquery$_003"."TREE",1,INSTR("from$_subquery$_003"."TREE"

              ORDER BY "from$_subquery$_003"."LEV" DESC )<=1)
   4 - filter(INSTR("from$_subquery$_003"."TREE",'|')>0)
   5 - filter("DCH_WORK_SURR_MGMT_ONE"."ACCT_ID"='_MERGED_')
   6 - filter("DCH_WORK_SURR_MGMT_ONE"."ACCT_ID"='_MERGED_')

I haven't tried gathering at 100%, mostly because there are 70 million
rows.  I do plan on trying various histogram options on ACCT_ID.

As for the count of '_MERGED_' rows, its about 450,000.
