I was going to send this to the list, but I need to think about it some more
- I do not want to look like a complete idiot in a public forum. *grin* But
for your amusement.....
Thanks, Brandon, that does make sense. However, this itch in the back of my
brain will not go away. Hypothetically, I would think that the optimizer
would still cost out the process of doing a "first k row" optimization.
Obviously, as we all well know, FIRST_ROWS_10 is not limited to returning 10
rows - it merely aims to bring back 10 rows "cheaper". Sometimes
FIRST_ROWS_10 can bring back all rows "faster" (wall clock time) than
ALL_ROWS. Also, the DISTINCT operation happens last, after all the joins,
right? It is not clear in my explain plan, but from other examples I have
worked with, this seemed to be the case.
I guess I need to do a little more reading and testing on this topic.

Hi Charles - I just read your post quickly and I'm not sure about this,
but it sounds to me like maybe there is no "First K" rows calculation for
the DISTINCT query because anytime you have a DISTINCT, GROUP BY, ORDER BY
or other clause that forces all the data to be fetched and sorted prior to
being returned to the user, it makes it impossible to do any type of "FIRST
ROWS" processing - because you can't just grab the first 1, 10, or 100 rows
until you grab them all and process them as requested, so it makes sense
that the CBO wouldn't even consider the cost for such an access method.
