Merge join issue

hi all,
In my project am using table type varibale as paramter with the columns of id salary to the table. In my procedure i have used merge join with the passed table type variable with the existing table.Insert the value given id does not match,update the value
to the id if matched this is the condition to my merge join. I passed the below table as parameter. Every id is new so i passed the id as -1. My problem is, when i insert the below table with my procedure it is not maintainig order. For example during insert
600 should be first,300 should be second and 800 should be third row, but am not getting like that it always save ascending order 300,600,800 respectively. Am i facing this issue since am using merge join?if so can any one help me to maintain order during
insert.
My table type variable paramter value has been given below
id   salary
-1   600
-1   300
-1   800

For example during insert 600 should be first,300 should be second and 800 should be third row,
Can you tell me on what's the rule that determines the order of insertion?

  • Group by causing merge join cartesian?

    Hi All,
    Database Version: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.5.0 - 64bi
    Database Version: PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.5.0 - ProductionI've written a query which runs in under a second and produces a few hundred rows (as you can see below). I only wanted to find the number of distinct incident ID's returned so I put a group by at the end and it ran for ever.
    I produced an explain plan (as shown below) for the query with the group by in it and it is trying to perform a cartesian join!
    WTF is going on? I've never known a group by statement to do that before.
    basic structure of the tables is as follows:
    SQL> desc answer_master
    Name                                                                     Null?    Type
    ANSWER_ID                                                                NOT NULL NUMBER(12)
    INCIDENT_ID                                                              NOT NULL NUMBER(12)
    PLAN_ID                                                                  NOT NULL NUMBER(12)
    QUESTION_ID                                                              NOT NULL NUMBER(12)

    The "Cartesian" product is nothing "wrong", if (!) the optimizer is right and the number or rows it's picking for that part of the execution plan is really 1. And that can be true, as ORACLE also changed from HASH join to NL. So that NL might be the cause of your performance issue not the Cartesian.
    The performance of IN, EXISTS and SUBQUERIES got better over the versions, but I still see no reason in most cases to use them for good readable and performing code.
    What you do think about this:
    WITH my_selection As
    (SELECT incident_id
    from question_master qms
       where question_plan_id = 1477
       and question_parent_id = 69067
       and (substr(question_text,-3) = 'PDF'
            or and substr(question_text,-3) != 'PDF')
       GROUP BY incident_id
       HAVING COUNT(*) >1)
    SELECT am.incident_id
      FROM answer_master am
         INNER JOIN my_selection s
          ON am.incident_id = s.incident_id
    group by am.incident_id;

  • Merge Join Cartesian performing bad on 10g

    Hello All,
    I have a merge join cartesian query that took seconds in 8i. Once the database was upgraded to 10g, the same query is taking hours. In looking at the explain plans, it looks like the access paths are identical.
    Has anyone encountered this issue?
    Thanks.

    Sometimes the cost-based optimizer will do cartesian joins to optimize a query. Seeing the word "cartesian" in a query plan is still a major red flag to my eyes. Also, performance changes between versions are usually expected, though most people complain about 9i to 10g results these days :)
    Are you sure you need to be doing a cartesian join at all? As Fly pointed out they have a bad reputation, and yours must be running badly as per your post. I personally get more efficient results from hash joins over sort merges these days so that's something you can look at.
    Try variations on your query to generate execution plans to see if you can get better results. Don't forget to actually time results since plan statistics have been known to be out-of-touch with actual run performance.
    Good luck!

  • Merge Join

    Can someone post an example query and explain query plan that makes use of a Merge Join in Oracle? Naturally, a description of the data would also be appreciated. I'm just trying to better understand when the Oracle optimizer will choose a merge join over other options, and would like to see some examples. This means that the query posted must naturally choose the merge join (forcing a merge join with query hints is no good).
    -Jacob

    For example during insert 600 should be first,300 should be second and 800 should be third row,
    Can you tell me on what's the rule that determines the order of insertion?

  • Why does Merge Join needs its sources to be sorted

    Hi,
    Can anyone explain why Merge Join needs its sources to be sorted ?
    I saw an explanation in another thread that this is the way to not load all the data to memory, but isnt the data that is about to be merged already all in memory becuase the SORT component waits for all the rows to arrive ?
    Why are there no options for Full cache, Partial Cache and No Cache like in the Lookup component ?

    MERGE Join is one of Join algorithms in SQL Server needs sorted inputs and efficient for large set of records.
    You may refer the below(Craig
    Freedman) link to understand the MERGE JOIN algorithm in details.

  • WHERE clauses and Merge Join Cartesian?

    For some reason, Siebel is generating queries like this:
                        AND CONCAT (CONCAT (t41828.lvl8anc_postn, '-'),
                                    t41828.lvl8_emp_full_name
                                   ) = 'GEO-SMITH, BILL'
                        AND CONCAT (CONCAT (t41828.lvl6anc_postn, '-'),
                                    t41828.lvl6_emp_full_name
                                   ) = 'GROUP1-DOE, JOHN'and this ends up with 3 merge join cartesian in autotrace and this query takes several hours.
    However, by rewriting just those 2 clauses to:
                        AND (t41828.lvl8anc_postn = 'GEO' and
                                    t41828.lvl8_emp_full_name = 'SMITH, BILL')
                        AND (t41828.lvl6anc_postn = 'GROUP1' and
                                    t41828.lvl6_emp_full_name = 'DOE, JOHN')the merge join cartesians go away, and it runs in 7 seconds.
    However, since Siebel is generating the query, and we are having issues, we decided to add columns for testing that is equivalent to the concatenation of the two columns above. After doing this, and creating indexes on the new columns, it is now back to the merge join cartesian and I cannot get rid of it.
    So:
    1. How can rewriting the WHERE (not adding or deleting anything here, just rewriting it in a different way) clause eliminate the merge join cartesian?
    I'm guessing by understanding that single question, I will be able to come up with a better solution to this.

    Note we made two additional columns:
    CONCAT (CONCAT (t41828.lvl8anc_postn, '-'), t41828.lvl8_emp_full_name) => col1 CONCAT (CONCAT (t41828.lvl6anc_postn, '-'), t41828.lvl6_emp_full_name) => col2
    When I created indexes on col1 and col2 and used them in the query, the cartesians returned, and I cannot figure out why. So, I'm still confused why:
    In the original query:
    1. Using CONCAT, and thus no indexes => cartesian
    2. No CONCAT, and indexes => no cartesian
    With the new columns, col1 and col2:
    1. No CONCAT needed, full table scan or indexes => cartesian

  • Role of left input and right input in merge join

    Hi All
    I really appreciate if someone explain me the difference between left input and right input in Merge Join.

    Think it in terms of transact sql join statement. The left input and right input represents the left and right part of join operation. So depending on type of operation chosen like LEFT JOIN,INNER JOIN etc it takes correspondig input as the base input and
    does join operation with the other input. Also it relies upon order of records in input which is why its essential that data should be sorted and also Issorted property must be tru for both the inputs.
    The real significance of choice is for left join as it will take left input as base table and does the comparison with other input returning all records from base input irrespective of whether or not it found a match. In all other cases (INNER/FULL JOIN)
    it gives similar output regardless of the which input you choose as left or right input.

  • AP - WLC joining issue

    We have 3 WLC's(5500) in our network and about 150 AP's. Only 4 AP's register to 1 controller, over 70 to 2nd and about 50 to 3rd. On checking & comparing few of the AP's this is what i concluded.
    1. 4 AP's that registered to the first WLC did not have that AP in the primary, secondary or tertiary list. If it was there then it was either secondary or tertiary or the device name entered is not resolvable by DNS but the device name is correct. Management IP was not configured on any of the 4 AP's for any of the WLC's
    2. AP's registered to second and third WLC's have similar config. First WLC as Primary, Second as secondary and third Tertiary with correct DNS name in the field but wrong device name. Also all have Management IP's entered as well.
    CAPWAP Join Taken Time for 4 AP's varies from 6to10 mins while for other AP its few seconds. DNS for cisco-capwap-controller points to WLC with4 AP's. I donot see any use of option in DNS for WAP's.
    How can i make AP's join this WLC. 
    Should I get the DNS and device name discrepancy corrected? 
    What is the selection process for AP's to choose WLC, as I see AP's not joining WLC in there building but joining a WLC in other adjacent building? Is there a way for me to influence this decision?

    What is the selection process for AP's to choose WLC, as I see AP's not joining WLC in there building but joining a WLC in other adjacent building? Is there a way for me to influence this decision?
    Best way to do this is configure AP High Availability of APs with primary,secondary,tertiary WLC name & IP (both fields required). This is taking precedence over any other methods.

    If you have AP join issue, try to configure DHCP option 43 & see if that helps
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless-mobility/wireless-lan-wlan/97066-dhcp-option-43-00.html
    If this is one off case, you can try static or broadcast forwarding as a interim solution

  • Bad Performance of Merge Join

    We are on ASE 15.0.3/EBF 21284 ESD#4.3 working on a application with over 3000 stored procedures.
    Our server optimization goal is allrows_mix.
    The Merge-Join is giving us problems. When a query uses Merge-Join, it usually take an order of magnitude longer to run than if we force it
    to use the other types of joins - nested-loop, n-ary-nested-loop, or hash-join.
    The query plan shows sorting on worktables leading into the merge-join.
    I know I can disable it with "set merge_join off", or "set plan optgoal allrows_oltp", but I'd rather not if I can fix the problem instead.
    Question: Are there configuration options that would help merge-join?
    I've done variations of this:
    sp_configure "number of sort buffers", 32000
    I've also done variations of this in the proc:
    set parallel_degree 5
    set scan_parallel_degree 4
    When I run the following command, I see sort buffer starvation:
    1> sp_monitorconfig "sort buffers"

    Maybe there are other configuration option to help merge-joins? Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Well, I'm gonna have to emphatically disagree with your comment ...
    "regressing back to allrows_oltp setting to solve your performance problems should not be encouraged"
    For *EVERY* client I've worked with on migrating from ASE 12.5.x to ASE 15.x ... they all had the same objective ... get through the migration as quickly as possible and do not degrade the performance of our database queries.  Unfortunately for every client I've worked with ... ASE 15.x, and the default of allrows_mix, did just the opposite, ie, migrations took much longer than expected/planned due primarily to huge performance degradation across their SQL inventory.
    For most of my clients merge joins were rarely, if ever, used in ASE 12.5.x.  And since hash joins never existed, that leaves us with using nested loop joins in ASE 15.x in an attempt to stay as close to ASE 12.5.x in terms of performance.
    NOTE: No, I don't consider compatibility mode as a solution as this requires you go through 2 migrations ... once to compatibility mode ... and eventually once to get off of compatibility mode.
    Now, can merge joins improve the performance of *some* queries?  Absolutely, but in practice ... especially with the first 4-5 years of ASE 15.x releases ... merge joins caused more headaches and performance degradation than they were worth.  I've seen too many clients spend huge amounts of time trying to re-write code to work with merge joins, often failing and having to 'regress back' to nested loop joins in the end.
    Unfortunately a) Sybase delivered ASE 15.x with allows_mix as the default and b) most companies didn't have enough migration experience to understand the pitfalls of trying to run all of their queries under the default of allrows_mix.  This meant that many companies were left having to 'regress back' to alternative solutions (eg, allrows_oltp, compat mode, don't migrate, move to another RDBMS) to address the performance degradation introduced with ASE 15.x and the default setting of allrows_mix.

  • SQL Server 2014 - ColumnStore index Clustered with Merge Join

    Hi All,
    I would like to know in SQL Server 2014, the new feature "Clustered Columnstore". I had inserted 9 millions of records in to a clustered columnstore table.
    Then i do a merge join query to insert and update to another table. The Merge join query is as below :
    MERGE [dbo].[Temp_FactSales] AS TARGET
    USING [dbo].[FactSales_9m] AS SOURCE
    ON
    TARGET.SALESID = SOURCE.SALESID
    WHEN NOT MATCHED BY TARGET
    THEN INSERT
    [listid],
    [sellerid],
    [buyerid],
    [eventid],
    [dateid],
    [qtysold],
    [pricepaid],
    [commission],
    [saletime]
    VALUES
    SOURCE.[listid],
    SOURCE.[sellerid],
    SOURCE.[buyerid],
    SOURCE.[eventid],
    SOURCE.[dateid],
    SOURCE.[qtysold],
    SOURCE.[pricepaid],
    SOURCE.[commission],
    SOURCE.[saletime]
    WHEN MATCHED THEN
    UPDATE
    SET
        TARGET.[listid] = SOURCE.[listid],
    TARGET.[sellerid] = SOURCE.[sellerid],
    TARGET.[buyerid] = SOURCE.[buyerid],
    TARGET.[eventid] = SOURCE.[eventid],
    TARGET.[dateid] = SOURCE.[dateid],
    TARGET.[qtysold] = SOURCE.[qtysold],
    TARGET.[pricepaid] = SOURCE.[pricepaid],
    TARGET.[commission] = SOURCE.[commission],
    TARGET.[saletime] = SOURCE.[saletime]
    The total execute time is  about 10 mins. However if i removed the Columnstore index in the table which using normal primary key. Then the execution time is less than 1 mins.  
    My question is when using "merge join", is this the behavior for columnstore index ? As from what i read, Columnstore index is great performance in read the data but not doing "Insert, update and Delete"?
    Hope anyone can help.
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi TTL1964,
    How's everything going?
    If there is any progress from your side, feel free to share it in the forum.

  • MERGE JOIN CARTESIAN

    Hi,
    I have a query which is using MERGE JOIN CARTESIAN (see step 4 and 11 in execution plan bellow) and i believe this is the culprit and query is never returning. Stats are up to date on all tables. This query involves two remote databases which are accessed using VIEWs from local database. Is there any hint which i can use here to avoid merge join Cartesian and test. Thanks. Also pasting query if any one can have any idea.

    Dear Salman Qureshi,
    First of all please see Jonathan Lewis' post about the merge join cartesian;
    http://jonathanlewis.wordpress.com/2006/12/13/cartesian-merge-join/
    You may also check the Thomas Kyte's thread;
    http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:4105951726381
    You merge join cartesian cost is so low that the impact will not be that high.
    Yes, there are ways to avoid the merge join cartesian. First you have to check the where conditions. Merge join cartesian steps are happening because of the bad SQL algorithm OR sometimes Oracle needs to have a merge join cartesian. At the end, it is up to your SQL.
    After than that, you can also use the ORDERED CBO hint to avoid the merge join cartesian.
    Please add below line after the SELECT clause and see the new execution plan;
    /*+ ORDERED */I hope your problem will be fixed when you show the CBO to use the ORDERED Oracle hint.
    About the ORDERED Oracle hint, please check it out;
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/server.101/b10752/hintsref.htm#5555
    ORDERED
    The ORDERED hint causes Oracle to join tables in the order in which they appear in the FROM clause.
    If you omit the ORDERED hint from a SQL statement performing a join, then the optimizer chooses the order in which to join the tables. You might want to use the ORDERED hint to specify a join order if you know something about the number of rows selected from each table that the optimizer does not. Such information lets you choose an inner and outer table better than the optimizer could.Hope That Helps.

  • Why is LOWER function producing a cartesian merge join, when UPPER doesn't?

    Hi there,
    I have an odd scenario that I would like to understand correctly...
    We have a query that is taking a long time to run on one of our databases, further investigation of the explain plan showed that the query was in fact producing a Cartesian merge join even though there is clearly join criteria specified. I know that the optimiser can and will do this if it is a more efficient way of producing the results, however in this scenario it is producing the Cartesian merge on two unrelated tables and seemingly ignoring the Join condition...

    83299I am still struggling to understand why this would have worked as to my knowledge the LOWER & UPPER functions are similar enough in function and regardless of that why would one version cause the optimiser to effectively ignore a join condition.
    If anyone can shed any light on this for me it would be very much appreciated.

    40 rows selected.As you state something has obviously changed, but nothing obvious has been changed.
    We gather statistics via...
    exec dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats(ownname => 'USERNAME', estimate_percent => DBMS_STATS.AUTO_SAMPLE_SIZE , degree => 4, granularity => ''ALL'', cascade => TRUE);
    We run a script nightly which works out which indexes require a rebuild and rebuild those only it doesn;t just rebuild all indexes.
    It would be nice to be able to use the 10g statistics history, but on this instance we aren't yet at that version, hopefully we will be there soon though.
    Hope this helps,

    Lots of things come into play when you're tuning a query.
    An (unformatted) execution plan isn't enough.
    Tuning takes time and understanding how (a lot of) things work, there is no ASAP in the world of tuning.
    Please post other important details, like your database version, optimizer settings, how/when are table statistics gathered etc.
    So, read the following informative threads (and please take your time, this really is important stuff), and adust your thread as needed.
    That way you'll have a bigger chance of getting help that makes sense...
    Your DBA should/ought to be able to help you in this as well.

  • Dynamic SQL from within DML - merging syntax issue #2

    Further to my previous thread on a SQL - DML merging syntax issue, I have another problem with multiple conditions in the WHERE-clause:
    vrb _retval decimal
    vrb _val1 text
    vrb _val2 text
    _val1 = 'value1'
    _val2 = 'value2'
    SQL SELECT DIM1_ATTR1 FROM MYSCHEMA.DIM1_DIM WHERE COL1 = :_val1, AND COL2 = :_val2, INTO :_retval
    The above SQL will return NA. If I use the text literals instead of the OLAP variables, the query just runs fine. Also, with a single condition (on COL1 only) the query returns the expected value.
    A note in the help states that OLAP DML objects should clearly be sperated from the rest of the SQL but does not say how. I am using a colon before and a comma after as without them the line would not compile. I could not find any example that would use multiple conditions in the WHERE-clause however the help text indicates that it is possible.
    Please help me, how.

    It does work, although I applied the finishing touch by removing the commas as well!
    Thanks a lot! Good job!
    Could you please have a look at issue #1 too? :-)
