Query can not use index

1,i found a sql :select userid,repute from user_attribute where
repute>3000 order by repute desc
cost heavily;
SELECT STATEMENT Cost = 637
SORT ORDER BY
TABLE ACCESS FULL USER_ATTRIBUTE
2,i use: select index_name from user_indexes where table_name
= 'USER_ATTRIBUTE'
INDEX_NAME
IDX_USER_ATTRIBUTE_FACE
IDX_USER_ATTRIBUTE_POWER
IDX_USER_ATTRIBUTE_REPUTE
IDX_USER_ATTRIBUTE_USERID
so column repute has indexed
3, i use CBO with analysize shema compute
optimizer_index_caching integer 99
optimizer_index_cost_adj integer 5
4,i use: select /*index(IDX_USER_ATTRIBUTE_REPUTE)*/
userid,repute from user_attribute where repute>3000 order by
repute desc
i got same explain plan as old
5,why it can not use index to query,thanks.

I think your optimizer hint syntax is wrong. you need a "+"
sign to indicate that the comment block is an optimizer hint,
and the table name is not optional in the index hints
select /*+ index(user_attribute
IDX_USER_ATTRIBUTE_REPUTE)*/
userid,repute from user_attribute where repute>3000 order
by
repute desc
also, try ...
select /*+ index_desc(user_attribute
IDX_USER_ATTRIBUTE_REPUTE)*/
userid,repute from user_attribute where repute>3000
This should order the result for you.

    You are right Justin. Oracle is not stupid as you may want to say some times when things do not happen according to you. I just created a bitmap index on status field and look what appened. Som times it uses bitmap index and some times it does not. And the reason is clear. Row count by status. 'S' status uses bitmap index where 'P' does not.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Query does not use index

    Hi,
    We have a production environment that uses oracle 10GR2.
    We have two schemas A and B
    A has two tables test1 and test2.
    test1 has three columns id, name, add and has an index IDX on id1. This table has close to 500 million rows.
    test2 has an column id. this is generally a small table holding 50k rows.
    B has the same set of tables and indexes.
    Now the question here is:
    When I run a join query as
    select
    t1.id
    from
    test1 t1, test t2
    where t1.id = t2.id
    on schema A, the explain plan uses the index IDX
    However when I run the same on schema B, the explain plan does not make use of the index.
    Any Thoughts?

  • Not Using Index on File Server When Accessing User Files Directly on Server

    It appears to me that on a server with an indexed network share (Desktop Experience and Search Indexing roles/features installed), if you access the share directly on the server using its drive path, you can search the folders using the index, which
    is much faster and supports finding words inside of the files in seconds). However, if you access the same shared folder via its network path from the server itself, the server ignores the index. I have this experience/problem across all shared folders on
    the Windows 2012 R2 Server. Details and my most specific goal follows.
    In addition to a laptop, I frequently work directly on a Windows Server 2012 R2 computer. We have Redirected Folders set up on DFS (for failover redundancy) so that my Documents folder is in:
    \\network\redirections\user\documents. This all works fine on Windows 7 and 8 client computers connected to the network via Offline Files.
    The problem is on the server itself. The server has Desktop Experience enabled and Windows Search is installed. If I navigate manually through the DFS root folder to my documents folder, I can search and it properly uses the index. This proves the location
    is properly indexed. However, if I access the folders through the official "Documents" folder from the Folder Redirection (a network share pointing to the same server computer I'm working on), it performs an un-indexed search (slow and ignores file
    contents, but does find files eventually if the search term is in their filename). Is there a way to force the server to use the indexed search on the Redirected Folders (my Documents folder in particular) when working on that server when logged in locally
    on that server?
    I suspect a workaround would be to go into the Registry and manually change the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders to point to the local DFS folder instead of the network share name, but at least one problem
    with this is then if I save files with links to other files (e.g., a linked Excel table in a PowerPoint, a mail merge to Access database in Word, etc.) on the server computer, those links will point to d:\DFSroot\... (a physical drive on the computer) instead
    of \\network\redirections\user\... (a universally accessible network path) and so none of the other computers will be able to find the linked files, defeating one of the
    major benefits of using Redirected Folders.
    I can't believe that I need to choose between indexed searching and proper path names in saved files. Surely there is a way to use an indexed search on the server itself?
    If you need any more info to help me troubleshoot, please let me know.
    Thanks for any help,
    Colin

    Hi Colin,
    It seems that we can not use indexed search on DFS shares. Windows Search works well when users directly access the server. That is, the server is not made available through Distributed File System (DFS).
    For more detailed information, you could refer to the links below:

  • Queries not using indexes

    We installed and configured a new environment of OBIEE and are trying to run a simple query in our data warehouse. This simple query takes only 7 seconds to complete in our previous data warehouse using TOAD but is taking 8+ minutes to complete in our new environment also using TOAD.
    Looking at the explain plans, the query in the new environment is not using indexes. Does anyone have an idea why it is not using the indexes? We checked and all of the indexes have been created and still exist. We also ran Analyze again on the two tables used n the query but the query still did not use the indexes.
    Please let me know if anyone has ideas ASAP since we are baffled.

    - Are the object statistics identical? The ANALYZE statement has been depricated for a while, particularly for data warehouse environments where there may be partitioning. Were you not using the DBMS_STATS package to gather statistics in the previous environment? Were statistics computed on the indexes?
    - Can you post the two query plans (formatted via DBMS_XPLAN and including the filter conditions)? It is not immediately obvious to me what index(es) might be useful here unless one of the two conditions is particularly selective which doesn't seem terribly likely based on just the table names involved.
    - When you do post the query plans, please use the \[code\] and \[code\] tags to preserve the white space so that the output is readable.

  • How can I use index in xsl mapping

    Hi All,
    How can I use index in XSL mapping.

    Hi Shiva,
    I am using two more select queries with the same manner ....
    here are the other two select query :
    ***************1************************

    and the second one is

          and rzzlstar in r_lstar                              
          AND rpmax  = c_max_period.
    for both the above table program is taking very less time .... although both the table used in above queries have similar amount of data. And i can not remove the APPENDING CORRESPONDING. because i have to append the data after fetching from the tables.  if i will not use it will delete all the data fetched earlier.
    Thanks on advanced......

  • Can not use TOUCH function on Nokia 6600 slide

    Can not use TOUCH function on Nokia 6600 slide-
    turned on sensor in phone settings, but when i touch the PHONE it does not work.
    Please, tell me how use this function or maybe my phone is out of order

    As long as your Sensor Settings are On within Menu, Settings, Phone, Sensor Settings then you just need to do the following -
    Tapping
    The tap function allows you to quickly
    mute and reject calls and alarm tones, and
    to display a clock just by double-tapping
    the back or front of the phone when the
    slide is closed.
    Select Menu > Settings > Phone >
    Sensor settings to activate the tap
    function and vibration feedback.
    Mute calls or alarms
    Double-tap the phone.
    Reject a call or snooze an alarm after
    muting it
    Double-tap the phone again.
    Display the clock
    Double-tap the phone.
    (If you have missed calls or received new
    messages, you must view them before you
    can see the clock.)
    Simply, if you double tap the screen when the slide is closed and you can see the clock appear then it is working.
    I hope this makes it clearer for you.

  • I can not use my mouse or keyboard when I am trying to install windows via boot camp

    Please can you help!
    I can not use my mouse or keyboard when I am trying to install windows via boot camp

    Starting a couple of days ago my mouse and keyboard stopped working suddenly.  
    How are they connected?   In my case they are wireless and their receiver is plugged into my USB hub.  After an update I found the OS inexplicably not recognizing my USB hub and hence any devices which were plugged into it.  My fix was to
    plug the receiver into a different USB port (so I could use the mouse and keyboard; otherwise I would have had to use the OSK via Touch or pen.)  Once I had normal access into my machine again I used Device Manager to remove all USB controller and
    hubs (including hidden ones) and I then shut down, disconnected all USB devices and powered back up, this time using only Touch to get going.  Once the OS had settled down I started plugging stuff back in the way that I wanted it to be recognized. 
    If I didn't have Touch I would have had to have left the wireless receiver plugged in both places which I assume would be OK.  I have no idea why updates have such a catastrophic effect for USB devices.

  • I am having troubles, when I open LR I get a message that there is an error and it will try to fix the error next time it opens, but I get the error next time it opens, and this is going on and on where I can not use LR, any suggestions?

    I am having troubles, when I open LR I get a message that there is an error and it will try to fix the error next time it opens. LR closes on it's own, I reopen it and get that same message next time it opens, and this is going on and on where I can not use LR, any suggestions? If I click on a different set of photos in the libary before I get that message I might or might not get the message next time it oipens, but I still can not get to those photos, and it is not just one or two but most of my photos. HELP!!!!
    Thanks
    Carol

    The first thing I would suggest is for you to go to the folder containing your catalog, using your system browser. There will be a folder that has the extension .lrdata. Delete that folder, and then try to start Lightroom. If that doesn't work, replace your catalog with your most recent backup.

  • I'm exhausted of trying to find a solution to a problem created by Apple. I have moved to iCloud, following your instructions and now I can not use my mobileme e-mail address. How can I contact directly with Apple, not just an automatic reply phone number

    I'm exhausted of trying to find a solution to a problem created by Apple. I have moved to icloud following all your instructions and now I can not use my mobile me e-mail address. I can not activate icloud because when I put my e-mail address it answers that somebody is already using my address. I have my old e-mails, but I can not receive any e-mail or send them.
    I have contacted Apple Technical Support in Spain and I was sent an e-mail saying that I have to call a phone number and when I call it is always an answering machine who answers that says that I have to pay 50€ for a consultation or wait for 10 minutes. When I have made the consultation it was never mentioned that I have to pay 50€ for a phone consultation. If I don't want to wait I have to pay for the Apple Tecnical Support which cost 250 €, this was not mentioned in the technical support page.
    Can somebody let me know how can I contact Apple in another way in order to talk with a human being or chat directly? I was very happy just using my mobileme e-mails, I didn't need any clouds and I was force by Apple to registered if I want to continue using my mobileme e-mail address.

    @I run a Windows 8.1 -  Photoshop CS5 under Parallels on an iMac one year old and both having the latest OS. I use a NIK plugin "VIVEZA" which run fine for years without a problem. Latelt and without a reason, the NIK plugin has gone corrupt, (can not use it more the 2 corrections after a get a black background message that there is not enough memory) and the system stops running and a must restart is required. How do I fix this terrible problem?
    If it requires a Photoshop CS5 re-install, (I belief that it may fix the problem) and re-install the two third party plugins (NIK Viveza) and (Onone Perfect Resize) how and where do I get to the proper Adobe upload page to do that.
    I have tried to fix this problem by changing the memory allocations, I have spend many hours on it and are very disgusted with it but it needs to be fixed. The current memory settings are;
    Ram available = 1588 MB
    Range = 873 -1143 MB
    Recommended Photoshop usage range =  857  however I have tried every setting to max and in between. Nothing works. Current setting = 1588 (max)
    The Photoshop I use is registered, I have product # and order # .

    Contact NIK for updated/upgraded versions of their plug-ins.  They have been having a lot of issues with their plug-ins.
