This statement is from a batch program within a pl/sql procedure. (Also, I have many similar ones within the process) The policy table has approximately 6.2 million rows. The procedure is to incrementally(daily) build an extract table from multiple tables. The extract table is then used for reporting purposes. The statement performs well per policy, however it is being executed 43,000+ times. Is there a design option available to me to reduce the number of executions and be more scaleable? I am considering the creation of an index to incorporate both the policy_number and the pol_eff_date hopefully eliminating the table access.
We are currently on 8.1.7.
