Sandy I know, Hibernate generated. Given that INVOICE_ID is apparently the PK in both tables, why do we need to join these tables to themselves? You appear to have (aliases changed for clarity) select ... from invoice inv LEFT OUTER join invoice_header invhdr2 on invhdr2.invoice_id = inv.invoice_id where (lower(inv.supplier_eid) = : 1 and inv.invoice_id in ( select inv1.invoice_id from invoice inv1 INNER join invoice_header invhdr1 on invhdr1.invoice_id = inv1.invoice_id where invhdr1.invoice_date > :2) ) and ((inv.invoice_id in ( select invoice_id from invoice ))) The last subquery appears to add no value. The second subquery could be combined with the first. If there is an invoice which joins to an invoice header for header date > :2, then the same header MUST the one you are finding in the main query. And the left outer join in the main query is therefore useless, because you know from the subquery that only rows that match on a regular INNER join on invoice_id are included. So I think your query could be transformed to this much simpler logically equivalent form without changing its results: select ... from invoice inv INNER join invoice_header invhdr2 on invhdr2.invoice_id = inv.invoice_id where lower(inv.supplier_eid) = : 1 and invhdr2.invoice_date > :2 Options are therefore: 1) simplify the Hibernate query, however that is defined 2) see if you can get Oracle to substitute the simple query for the complex one (steps back, waves hands hopefully - I've read about this but never actually tried it) Of course CBO may already have worked all this out for itself... but if so I don't see why it would need 3 index scans for just two tables - and it wouldn't need the HASH UNIQUE. It could just go for INVOICE_HEADER_INVID_INVDT, go to PK_INVOICE and then INVOICE to check supplier_eid and finally get select columns from the INVOICE_HEADER table. NB - if PK_INVOICE_HEADER is unique, by definition INVOICE_HEADER_INVID_INVDT is also unique. Maybe declaring it so would give the CBO another useful clue.
