All,
We have a query that runs slow on a 10g database for certain set of values
only. After getting complaints from user, we investigated it. the query was
selecting rows from a table with 10 million rows, but without index. so we
added an index.  If the query uses index it becomes slower or gives about
the same response time. the reason is because for the set of values the
users complain about there are more than 50,000 rows:


PRD2> select count(*) from VOUCHER_LINE;

            COUNT(*)
--------------------
           9,894,236

PRD2> select count(*), INV_ITEM_ID
2  from VOUCHER_LINE
3  where INV_ITEM_ID in ('3260', '3250', '3255' )
4  group by  INV_ITEM_ID;

            COUNT(*) INV_ITEM_ID
-------------------- ------------------
              54,882 3255
              72,522 3250
              66,574 3260
The time taken is anywhere from 9 minutes to 14 minutes. Can anyone suggest
an idea to speed up this query.

Orlando.
