Expression Filters Performance

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to test the expression filters functionality using two tables:
Env: Oracle 11g R2 (11.2.0.2) EE on AIX
T1 is the data table and contains about 90 million rows with around 60 columns. Only 4 columns are evaluated in the filter with three of them always having a value (me_cat, me_tp, me_code) and the other one (base_plan) having nulls in some rows.
T2 contains 666 expressions using the four columns I mentioned before in every expression.
I have tried different parameters for the index on the T2(expression column) but it doesn't help at all.
This is the query I'm using:
insert into ma_pps_mpt_eligibles
select
m.id_monthly_record,
m.id_client,
m.name_client,
m.cd_sex,
m.cd_race,
m.dt_birth,
m.sig,
m.dt_elig,
m.dt_smib_from,
m.dt_smib_thru,
m.flag_smib,
m.cd_buy_in,
m.base_plan,
m.mc_county,
m.mc_statuscode,
m.mc_cd_occur,
m.me_cat,
m.me_code,
m.dt_me_open,
m.dt_me_close,
m.me_tp,
m.me_sd,
m.me_cd_occur,
m.age,
m.contractor,
m.mc_plan,
m.dt_mc_from,
m.dt_mc_to,
m.cd_smib_buyin,
m.id_hmo,
m.id_state_rg,
m.excl_prem,
m.excl_count,
m.rate_pure,
m.rate_admin,
m.page_count,
m.rg_page,
m.voucher_page,
m.id_provider_sp,
m.srv_grp,
m.srv_code,
m.med_choice_code,
m.dt_admit,
m.dt_discharge,
m.dt_int_admit,
m.flag_alias,
m.id_client_real,
m.zip_mail,
m.size_family,
m.income_family,
m.education,
m.id_case,
m.flag_tx_hold,
m.id_type_plan,
m.cd_partition,
m.validity,
m.hic,
m.ssn,
m.flag_lockin,
m.counter,
m.rg_comp_id,
t.id_mtp_elig_rule
from
ma_pps_monthly m,
ma_pps_mtp_elig_rules_exp t
where
m.cd_partition = '201104' and
m.validity = 0 and
evaluate
t.mtp_rule_condition,
ty_ma_pps_mtp_elig_attr (m.me_cat, m.me_tp, m.me_code, m.base_plan).getvarchar()
) = 1
What I'm doing/assuming wrong here?
Has anyone tried to evaluate such amount of data?

Answer 1

what exactly is the problem? it doesn't work? it takes too long?
