Dennis, I tend to treat use of hints for exceptional cases only. With collections CASTed as tables, I seem to have a generalized problem of tables involved being scanned FULL (not using the available indexes) and query response being slow. I can't seem to build a query with collections and have it

Rick, does this return *any* records at all? the only reason that I ask is that in the 'where' clause, it is saying: where p.phy_id = board_aaps.phy_id (+) and p.phy_id = board_aba.phy_id (+) and p.phy_id = board_abem.phy_id (+) and p.phy_id = board_abfp.phy_id (+) and p.phy_id

My first thought would be that the plan shows a full table scan for phy_boards for each in-line view. This is almost certainly due to the 'pb.expiration_Date is null' condition in the where clause of each in-line view. Since Oracle does not store NULLs in an index (except for bitmaps), that condi

Sergei, By "hang" I'm going to assume that I can replace that with the phrase "running really slow". If it is actually "hanging" then I think a call to Oracle is in order. I'm guessing that perhaps statistics were updated or one of the tables changed in size enough to convince the optimisor to t

Remove the group by clause. It does nothing. Also, if the cardinality for subsite_id in the table tmp_brian_metareward1 is low, you may use a PL/SQL block instead of a single update statement. HTH, Krishna - Original Message - To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED

Try turning the subquery into a join like this. Also make sure you've got sufficient hash_area_size to do a hash join instead of a sort/merge join. 20m should be plenty. If you have to, put a use_hash hint on the query to force it to a hash join. SELECT  to_char(NVL(SUM(bet_amount),0))FROM   sb_bet
