Lisa,

This is my explain plan:

1.19 SELECT STATEMENT    SQL1 Cost = 19
  2.1 SORT GROUP BY
    3.1 HASH JOIN
      4.1 TABLE ACCESS FULL OPERS_CNTR_CDE
      4.2 HASH JOIN
        5.1 TABLE ACCESS FULL FEE_TYP
        5.2 HASH JOIN
          6.1 MERGE JOIN CARTESIAN
            7.1 TABLE ACCESS FULL RECM
            7.2 SORT JOIN
              8.1 TABLE ACCESS FULL MDB_DEPT
          6.2 TABLE ACCESS FULL CNCL_FEE

The two dim tables in the Cartesian join step are 
very small - 2 and 3 records. The fact table  -
CNCL_FEE is about 4000 rows.
