col_1 and col_2 are primary key columns in all 3 tables. There is no implicit data type conversion. col_1 is varchar2 and col_2 is varchar2 in all 3 tables. col width is also same in all 3 tables.
-----Original Message----- Sent: Monday, January 06, 2003 11:52 PM To: Gurnani, Manoj If an implicit data type conversion occurs within the WHERE clause, a Full Table Scan will always results. It is equivalent to placing a function on an index. Are all the columns involved indexed? ----- Forwarded by Charlie Mengler/THD on 01/06/2003 10:15 AM ----- manoj.gurnani@orb itech.co.in To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Prevent FTS 01/06/2003 09:39 AM Please respond to ORACLE-L Hi All, I've 3 tables table x,y,z pk of x is (col_1,col_2),pk of y is (col_1,col_2,col_4,col_5),pk of z is (col_1,col_2) where clause is : where x.col_1 = y.col_1 and x.col_2 = y.col_2 and x.col_1 = z.col_1 and x.col_2 = z.col_2 and y.col_1 = z.col_1 and y.col_2 = z.col_2 and x.col_3 in ('val1','val2','val3') and..... ..
