I'm having difficulty pushing a predicate into a view that has an analytic function. Optimizer is determined to keep it as a filter on the last step of the execution plan instead of pushing it to run earlier and does them filtering using the index. Test case: create table test_d1 ( c1 number not null, c2 number not null); create index bx1 on test_d1 (c2); create table test_f1 ( c1 number not null, c2 number not null); create index bx2 on test_f1 (c1); create or replace view test_bug as select --+ ordered index(a,bx1) use_nl(b) index(b,x2) a.c2, rank() over (partition by b.c1 order by b.c2 desc) m_rnk from test_d1 a, test_f1 b where a.c1 =3D b.c1; create or replace view test_bug1 as select --+ ordered index(a,bx1) use_nl(b) index(b,x2) a.c2=20 from test_d1 a, test_f1 b where a.c1 =3D b.c1 select * from test_bug where c2 =3D 10; ------------------------------------------------- -- Does a full index scan on BX1, I don't like it -- Did not push the predicate ------------------------------------------------- select * from test_bug1 where c2 =3D 10; --------------------------------------------------------- -- Uses the index correctly (range scan) and drives the NL -- The view has no rank function --------------------------------------------------------- Any ideas?
