Minimize full table scan

Dear all,
I have a query involving some equal and outer joins and I have created the required indexes which are used for comparison. However, when I use the explain plan, I found the execution plan choose full table scan rather than scanning the index.
When I try the query in test environment, it goes through the indexes and responses quickly. The amount and nature of data are more or less the same.
Any idea?

It is not because you create an index that Oracle will use that index. It depends on the optimiser mode and on the number of expected rows. If you use the cost-based-optimiser and oracle thinks that the query returns more than 4% of the rows in the table, it uses full tablescan instead of indexscan. If you do not agree with this way, use hints or let oracle analyse your tables.

Data Federator Full Table scan

Hi,
Is it possible to prevent a Full table scan when creating a join between tables of 2 catalogues in a Data Federator?
This is seriously hampering the development time within Data Federator Development.
I am working with IDT Beta to create a Universe based on Multiple Source. The delay is so huge when creating joins that we could revert to Universe Design Tool. I have posted it here as Data Federator gurus will have tweak about IDT as it incorporates DF within itself in BI 4.0.
Any inputs will be great.. In case this is in the wrong forums, then please move it accordingly.

The issue was fixed when the GA was released. This was present in Beta

Select statement in a function does Full Table Scan

All,
I have been coding a stored procedure that writes 38K rows in less than a minute. If I add another column which requires call to a package and 4 functions within that package, it runs for about 4 hours. I have confirmed that due to problems in one of the functions, the code does full table scans. The package and all of its functions were written by other contractors who have been long gone.
Please note that case_number_in (VARCHAR2) and effective_date_in (DATE) are parameters sent to the problem function and I have verified through TOAD’s debugger that their values are correct.
Table named ps2_benefit_register has over 40 million rows but case_number is an index for that table.
Table named ps1_case_fs has more than 20 million rows but also uses case_number as an index.
Select #1 – causes full table scan runs and writes 38K rows in a couple of hours.
{case}
SELECT max(a2.application_date)
INTO l_app_date
FROM dwfssd.ps2_benefit_register a1, dwfssd.ps2_case_fs a2
WHERE a2.case_number = case_number_in and
a1.case_number = a2.case_number and
a2.application_date <= effective_date_in and
a1.DOCUMENT_TYPE = 'F';
{case}
Select #2 – runs – hard coding values makes the code to write the same 38K rows in a few minutes.
{case}
SELECT max(a2.application_date)
INTO l_app_date
FROM dwfssd.ps2_benefit_register a1, dwfssd.ps2_case_fs a2
WHERE a2.case_number = 'A006438' and
a1.case_number = a2.case_number and
a2.application_date <= '01-Apr-2009' and
a1.DOCUMENT_TYPE = 'F';
{case}
Why using the values in the passed parameter in the first select statement causes full table scan?
Thank you for your help,
Seyed

Hello Dan,
Thank you for your input. The function is not determinsitic, therefore, I am providing you with the explain plan. By version number, if you are refering to the Database version, we are running 10g.

URGENT HELP Required: Solution to avoid Full table scan for a PL/SQL query

Hi Everyone,
When I checked the EXPLAIN PLAN for the below SQL query, I saw that Full table scans is going on both the tables TABLE_A and TABLE_B
UPDATE TABLE_A a
SET a.current_commit_date =
(SELECT MAX (b.loading_date)
FROM TABLE_B b
WHERE a.sales_order_id = b.sales_order_id
AND a.sales_order_line_id = b.sales_order_line_id
AND b.confirmed_qty > 0
AND b.data_flag IS NULL
OR b.schedule_line_delivery_date >= '23 NOV 2008')
Though the TABLE_A is a small table having nearly 1 lakh records, the TABLE_B is a huge table, having nearly 2 and a half crore records.
I created an Index on the TABLE_B having all its fields used in the WHERE clause. But, still the explain plan is showing FULL TABLE SCAN only.
When I run the query, it is taking long long time to execute (more than 1 day) and each time I have to kill the session.
Please please help me in optimizing this.
Thanks,
Sudhindra

Check the instruction again, you're leaving out information we need in order to help you, like optimizer information.
- Post your exact database version, that is: the result of select * from v$version;
- Don't use TOAD's execution plan, but use
SQL> explain plan for <your_query>;
SQL> select * from table(dbms_xplan.display);(You can execute that in TOAD as well).
Don't forget you need to use the {noformat}{noformat} tag in order to post formatted code/output/execution plans etc.
It's also explained in the instruction.
When was the last time statistics were gathered for table_a and table_b?
You can find out by issuing the following query:select table_name
, last_analyzed
, num_rows
from user_tables
where table_name in ('TABLE_A', 'TABLE_B');
Can you also post the results of these counts;select count(*)
from table_b
where confirmed_qty > 0;
select count(*)
from table_b
where data_flag is null;
select count(*)
from table_b
where schedule_line_delivery_date >= /* assuming you're using a date, and not a string*/ to_date('23 NOV 2008', 'dd mon yyyy');

Preventing Discoverer using Full Table Scans with Decode in a View

Hi Forum,
Hope you are can help, it involves a performance issues when creating a Report / Query in Discoverer.
I have a Discoverer Report that currently takes less than 5 seconds to run. After I add a condition to bring back Batch Status that = Posted we cancelled the query after reaching 20 minutes as this is way too long. If I remove the condition the query time goes back to less than 5 seconds. Changing the condition to Batch Status that = Unposted returns the query in seconds.
Ive been doing some digging and have found the database view that is linked to the Journal Batches folder in Discoverer. See at end of post.
I think the problem is with the column using DECODE. When querying the column in TOAD the value of P is returned. But in discoverer the condition is done on the value Posted. Im not too sure how DECODE works, but think this could be the causing some sort of issue with Full Table Scans.
Any idea how do we get around this?

How to avoid full Table scan when using Rule based optimizer (Oracle817)

1. We have a Oracle 8.1.7 DB, and the optimizer_mode is set to "RULE"
2. There are three indexes on table cm_contract_supply, which is a large table having 28732830 Rows, and average row length 149 Bytes
COLUMN_NAME INDEX_NAME
PROGRESS_RECID XAK11CM_CONTRACT_SUPPLY
COMPANY_CODE XIE1CM_CONTRACT_SUPPLY
CONTRACT_NUMBER XIE1CM_CONTRACT_SUPPLY
COUNTRY_CODE XIE1CM_CONTRACT_SUPPLY
SUPPLY_TYPE_CODE XIE1CM_CONTRACT_SUPPLY
VERSION_NUMBER XIE1CM_CONTRACT_SUPPLY
CAMPAIGN_CODE XIF1290CM_CONTRACT_SUPPLY
COMPANY_CODE XIF1290CM_CONTRACT_SUPPLY
COUNTRY_CODE XIF1290CM_CONTRACT_SUPPLY
SUPPLIER_BP_ID XIF801CONTRACT_SUPPLY
COMMISSION_LETTER_CODE XIF803CONTRACT_SUPPLY
COMPANY_CODE XIF803CONTRACT_SUPPLY
COUNTRY_CODE XIF803CONTRACT_SUPPLY
COMPANY_CODE XPKCM_CONTRACT_SUPPLY
CONTRACT_NUMBER XPKCM_CONTRACT_SUPPLY
COUNTRY_CODE XPKCM_CONTRACT_SUPPLY
SUPPLY_SEQUENCE_NUMBER XPKCM_CONTRACT_SUPPLY
VERSION_NUMBER XPKCM_CONTRACT_SUPPLY
3. We are querying the table for a particular contract_number and version_number. We want to avoid full table scan.
SELECT /*+ INDEX(XAK11CM_CONTRACT_SUPPLY) */
rowid, pms.cm_contract_supply.*
FROM pms.cm_contract_supply
WHERE
contract_number = '0000000000131710'
AND version_number = 3;
However despite of giving hint, query results are fetched after full table scan.
Execution Plan
0 SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer=RULE (Cost=1182 Card=1 Bytes=742)
1 0 TABLE ACCESS (FULL) OF 'CM_CONTRACT_SUPPLY' (Cost=1182 Card=1 Bytes=742)
4. I have tried giving
SELECT /*+ FIRST_ROWS + INDEX(XAK11CM_CONTRACT_SUPPLY) */
rowid, pms.cm_contract_supply.*
FROM pms.cm_contract_supply
WHERE
contract_number = '0000000000131710'
AND version_number = 3;
and
SELECT /*+ CHOOSE + INDEX(XAK11CM_CONTRACT_SUPPLY) */
rowid, pms.cm_contract_supply.*
FROM pms.cm_contract_supply
WHERE
contract_number = '0000000000131710'
AND version_number = 3;
But it does not work.
Is there some way without changing optimizer mode and without creating an additional index, we can use the index instead of full table scan?

Your problem isn't the archive table! I tried to remove the 2 selects from the select-clause. Furthermore you have a lot of nested loops in your explain, which is a performance-killer. Try getting rid of them, perhaps use /*+ USE_HASH(?,?) */.

Slow queries and full table scans in spite of context index

I have defined a USER_DATASTORE, which uses a PL/SQL procedure to compile data from several tables. The master table has 1.3 million rows, and one of the fields being joined is a CLOB field.
The resulting token table has 65,000 rows, which seems about right.
If I query the token table for a word, such as "ORACLE" in the token_text field, I see that the token_count is 139. This query returns instantly.
The query against the master table is very slow, taking about 15 minutes to return the 139 rows.
Example query:
select hnd from master_table where contains(myindex,'ORACLE',1) > 0;
I've run a sql_trace on this query, and it shows full table scans on both the master table and the DR$MYINDEX$I table. Why is it doing this, and how can I fix it?

After looking at the tuning FAQ, I can see that this is doing a functional lookup instead of an indexed lookup. But why, when the rows are not constrained by any structural query, and how can I get it to instead to an indexed lookup?
Thanks in advance,
Annie

Simple Query in Oracle Linked Table in MS Access causes full table scan.

I am running a very simple query in MS ACCESS to a linked Oracle table as follows:
Select *
From EXPRESS_SERVICE_EVENTS --(the linked table name refers to EXPRESS.SERVICE_EVENTS)
Where performed > MyDate()
or
Select *
From EXPRESS_SERVICE_EVENTS --(the linked table name refers to EXPRESS.SERVICE_EVENTS)
Where performed > [Forms]![MyForm]![Date1]
We have over 50 machines and this query runs fine on over half of these, using an Oracle Index on the "performed" field. Running exactly the same thing on the other machines causes a full table scan, therefore ignoring the Index (all machines access the same Access DB).
Strangely, if we write the query as follows:
Select *
From EXPRESS_SERVICE_EVENTS
Where performed > #09/04/2009 08:00#
it works fast everywhere!
Any help on this 'phenominon' would be appreciated.
Things we've done:
Checked regional settings, ODBC driver settings, MS Access settings (as in Tools->Options), we have the latest XP and Office service packs, and re-linked all Access Tables on both the slow and fast machines independantly).

Primarily, thanks gdarling for your reply. This solved our problem.
Just a small note to those who may be using this thread.
Although this might not be the reason, my PC had Oracle 9iR2 installed with Administratiev Tools, where user machines had the same thing installed but using Runtime Installation. For some reason, my PC did not have 'bind date' etc. as an option in the workarounds, but user machines did have this workaround option. Strangely, although I did not have the option, my (ODBC) query was running as expected, but user queries were not.
When we set the workaround checkbox accordingly, the queries then run as expected (fast).
Once again,
Thanks

Any particular reason why you have a non-default value for a hidden parameter, optimizercost_based_transformation ?
On my 10.2.0.1 database, its default value is "linear". What happens when you reset the value of the hidden parameter to default?

Hi,
welcome,
how is the query performing if you delete all the hints for PARALLEL, because most of the waits are related to waits on Parallel.

Finding the Text of SQL Query causing Full Table Scans

Hi,
does anyone have a sql script, that shows the complete sql text of queries that have caused a full table scan?
Please also let me know as to how soon this script needs to be run, in the sense does it work only while the query is running or would it work once it completes (if so is there a valid duration, such as until next restart, etc.)
Your help is appreciated.
Thx,
Mayuran

You might try something like this:
select sql_text,
       object_name
from   v$sql s,
       v$sql_plan p
where s.address = p.address and
       s.hash_value = p.hash_value and
       s.child_number = p.child_number and
       p.operation = 'TABLE ACCESS' and
       p.options = 'FULL' and
       p.object_owner in ('SCOTT')
;Please note that this query is just a snapshot of the SQL statements currently in the cache.

Where columnname like '%somevalue' causing full table scan

hi,
10.2.0.4 database
is it possible to force an index scan over a full table scan if I use a where clause similar to the following:
where col1 like '%somevalue';
There is an index with col1 as the first segment of the index and another column as the second segment of the index.
Thanks

Trunc causing Full Table Scans

I have a situtaion here where my query is as follows.
SQL> select count(1) from HBSM_SM_ACCOUNT_INFO where OPTIONAL_PARM5='MH' and CUST_STATUS in ('UP','UUP') and trunc(FIRST_ACTVN_DATE) = trunc(sysdate);
COUNT(1)

If I remove the trunc clause from the query the performance definitely improves the the results are wrong.

Can someone please help me whereby I can get the right data and I can also prevent these full table scans.

Unless you are using a functional index, applying any function to an indexed column prevents the use of the index.
The way round it in your case is to realise that
select count(1) from HBSM_SM_ACCOUNT_INFO where OPTIONAL_PARM5='MH' and CUST_STATUS in ('UP','UUP') and trunc(FIRST_ACTVN_DATE) = trunc(sysdate)Is really asking that FIRST_ACTVN_DATE should be sometime today. You could therefore rewrite it as
select count(1) from HBSM_SM_ACCOUNT_INFO where OPTIONAL_PARM5='MH' and CUST_STATUS in ('UP','UUP')
and FIRST_ACTVN_DATE >= trunc(sysdate)
and FIRST_ACTVN_DATE < trunc(sysdate) + 1Note, this still might not use the index depending on how many rows are within today's date versus how many are outside today's date.
Also, when posting, remember to put your code between tags and to post create table scripts and sample data inserts.
