I cant sql trace it now. I hae run statspack. this query is running now and I dont want to run another copy with a trace on until this finishes, since I dont want to suck up resources. Im at a loss as to where the 20 billion rows comes from in this explain plan? Everything including the indexes are analyzed.
when the two tables involved have 36k and 5k rows involved. looks like some form of cartesian join, but its not showing up in the plan. The two tables are joined by a column. any place to look on this? I know I need the 10046 trace, but I cant get that yet and it make take 12 hours to get it after this runs. select col1, col2, col3 from tab1 tab2 where tab1.col1 = tab2.col2; Operation Object Name Rows Bytes Cost Object Node In/Out PStart PStop SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer Mode=CHOOSE 1 G 237 HASH JOIN 1 G 20G 237 INDEX FAST FULL SCAN PK1 5 K 11 K 3 TABLE ACCESS FULL TABLE2 366 K 4 M 231 -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: <[EMAIL PROTECTED] INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
