Issue with Interactive Report

Question

I have a report that grabs over 10,000 rows (it's an inventory). When I run it from sql plus, it is pretty fast. When I run it from a standard report, again it's pretty fast. However, my interactive report takes about 2 min to load. I did a p_trace and got this result from the accompanying TKPROF
<pre>
select
ROWID as apxws_row_pk,
"MASTER_STYLE",
"STYLE_DESCR",
"STYLE_LINK",
"STYLE",
"COLOR_NO",
"COLOR_DESCR",
"LINEPR",
"RETAIL_PRICE",
"AVL",
count(*) over () as apxws_row_cnt
from (
select * from (
select style,
style_link,
style_descr,
color_no,
color_descr,
avl_qty,

retail_price,
master_style,div,
k_apex.return_avl_matrix(style,color_no,k_apex.f_get_value('WHOUSE'),:global_cust_no) AVL
from nkw.vw_style_chooser
where (div = :global_div_no or :global_div_no is NULL)

Is there a way to only have it start with a few hundred rows to speed up the process?
Thanks,

Answer 1

What is the pagination type that you have selected in the in the interactive report ? (Pagination type is under "Pagination" tab of interactive report attribute). Ensure that it is not set to "Row ranges X to Y of Z". That can be one of the reason for slow performance.
