Mark,

this may be as simple as selecting the correct doc_id column.  Is the 
CPAG_CNST_UK01 index in the COMPRESSED_AGREEMENTS table?  If not, then
change your select statement (within the view) to query the doc_id column
from the correct table.

Good Luck

Ok, so I have a view defined as:
create or replace view xan_comp_view
as
select /*+ ordered use_nl(xcpag) */
       distinct cpag.doc_id doc_id,
       decode(xcpag.doc_id,NULL,cpag.cpag_text,xcpag.cpag_text)
cpag_text,
 
decode(xcpag.doc_id,NULL,length(cpag.cpag_text),length(xcpag.cpag_text))
cpag_text_length,
       decode(xcpag.doc_id,NULL,max(cpag.cpag_day_effective) over
(partition by cpag.doc_id),
                                max(xcpag.cpag_day_effective) over
(partition by xcpag.doc_id)) cpag_day_effective,
       decode(xcpag.doc_id,NULL,'PQ','XN') aud_type
from compressed_agreements cpag,
     xan_compressed_agreements xcpag
WHERE decode(xcpag.doc_id,NULL,cpag.CPAG_DAY_EFFECTIVE,1) <=
 
decode(xcpag.doc_id,NULL,decode(sign(trunc(sysdate)-cpag.cpag_calc_date)
,-1,0, trunc(sysdate)-cpag.cpag_calc_date + NVL(cpag.C
PAG_DAY_EFFECTIVE,0)),1)
  and decode(xcpag.doc_id,NULL,1,xcpag.CPAG_DAY_EFFECTIVE) <=
 
decode(xcpag.doc_id,NULL,1,decode(sign(trunc(sysdate)-xcpag.cpag_calc_da
te),-1,0,
      trunc(sysdate)-xcpag.cpag_calc_date +
NVL(xcpag.CPAG_DAY_EFFECTIVE,0)))
  and cpag.doc_id = xcpag.doc_id(+)
/
If I do 'select * from xan_comp_view;'
The plan is:
SQL> select * from xan_comp_view
  2  /

Execution Plan

(NON-UNIQUE)

This is fine, and I'm ok w/ it.  But, I don't plan on ever using the
view this way.  What I plan to do is something like:
'select * from xan_comp_view where doc_id = 1'
When I do that, the plan looks like:
SQL> select * from xan_mjb where doc_id  =1;

Execution Plan
----------------------------------------------------------
   0      SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer=CHOOSE (Cost=496561 Card=1948518
Bytes=335145096)
   1    0   VIEW OF 'XAN_MJB' (Cost=496561 Card=1948518 Bytes=335145096)
   2    1     SORT (UNIQUE) (Cost=496561 Card=1948518 Bytes=378012492)
   3    2       WINDOW (SORT)
   4    3         WINDOW (BUFFER)
   5    4           FILTER
   6    5             NESTED LOOPS (OUTER)
   7    6               TABLE ACCESS (BY INDEX ROWID) OF
'COMPRESSED_AGREEMENTS' (Cost=6171 Card=2609173 Bytes=258308127)
   8    7                 INDEX (FULL SCAN) OF 'CPAG_CNST_UK01' (UNIQUE)
(Cost=6613 Card=2609173)
   9    6               TABLE ACCESS (BY INDEX ROWID) OF
'COMPRESSED_AGREEMENTS' (Cost=1 Card=270 Bytes=25650)
  10    9                 INDEX (RANGE SCAN) OF 'CPAG_INDX_FK01'
(NON-UNIQUE)


What I want to see here is an INDEX (UNIQUE SCAN) on CPAG_CNST_UK01',
since I'm providing the 'doc_id=1' predicate.  However, it insists on
the FULL SCAN, which, of course, is killing my performance.

Can anyone think of a way that I can convince the optimizer to do what I
want?  If I take the SQL that defines the view, and execute it as a SQL,
with the 'DOC_ID=1' predicate, it does exactly what I want.  As soon as
I put the SQL into the view, it stops working.

Help!

Thanks in advance,
