Formal SQL Tuning for Oracle Databases Practical Efficiency - Effici

The target of  SQL tuning is  the improvement of the existing execution plan.  The authors discuss the removal of brakes in the execution plan. Such "brakes" or bottlenecks can be recognized by a formal analysis of the execution plan. For t

Foreword by Watson

The mantra I chant relentlessly is “you must understand your data; you must understand your queries.” By this I mean that if a developer has a complete understanding of the information he is processing, he will be able to write code that will run efficiently. The critical decisions that Oracle’s cost-based optimizer must make are join order, join method, and access method. Use of structures such as DISTINCT to remove duplicates when none exist, or OUTER JOIN when INNER JOIN will do, or needless functions around predicate columns, or inappropriate use of NULL will force the CBO to develop plans that do not make the best decisions and therefore cripple performance. There are more complex issues such as whether views are mergeable or predicate pushable, whether correlated subqueries can be factored out into common table expressions—any number of other optimizations. The CBO (co
