genegurevich@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx said,on my timestamp of 10/03/2006 1:12 AM:
disabled a PK on one of the tables. I can't modify the SQL in any way because it is generated by a reporting tool (Cognos) it won't add hints or +0 etc.
Don't you just love that? :(
What I was mostly wondering is whether this situation (PK createing a
performance degradation) is a symptom of
some other problem which I need to look at.
I don't think so, abstracting any "undocumented features". Like Kevin said, stored outlines might be of help here? And if it's 10g, we're supposed to be able to hint a statement directly in the cache, without need of the source. Or at least that's what the white papers would have one believe.
