Please help me reduce the execution time of below mentioned sql. Currently it is taking 13 hours. I have attached the execution plan .

1) Can you please read and follow the orafaq forum guide - especially the part on how to format your post.
2) Can you please use the following to generate explain plan and then post the results inline with [code] tags, it's easier to read and a lot of people won't download attachments.
SQL> explain plan for select * from dual;

Explained.

SQL> select * from table(dbms_xplan.display);

PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plan hash value: 3543395131

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Id  | Operation         | Name | Rows  | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time     |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|   0 | SELECT STATEMENT  |      |     1 |     2 |     2   (0)| 00:00:01 |
|   1 |  TABLE ACCESS FULL| DUAL |     1 |     2 |     2   (0)| 00:00:01 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

8 rows selected.

SQL> 

3) Lose the distinct, any query that selects a rowid gives distinct output by definition.
4) What does the plan look like without the ordered hint?

Sorry for not following formatting guidelines.

>pay_payroll_actions ppa,
above exists in FROM clause, but contributes NO data to the SELECT clause.
also doing FTS against PPA; which is 1 of the larger tables
With proper indexing and subordinating into WHERE clause might improve performance

63	   - 'PLAN_TABLE' is old version


It means that you are using OLD version of PLAN_TABLE, so you are missing o LOT of useful information in EXPLAIN.

Drop your plan table and create a correct one.

One of these days you're actually going to explain why removing linking tables from the main part of the query is likely to improve anything.

Hi ,

I have removed the ordered hint from the sql and have observed drastic improvement in execution time.
I am not sure whether query will behave same in production instance . Right Now I have tested in development instance.
Please advice.

The only way to answer that is to test it.

Questions I'd be asking if I were you are why that hint was there in the first place and are development and production mirrors or not. If they are not, you're going to struggle to develop tuning solutions which are 100% reliable.

You can try by putting following hints.

/*+ INDEX_JOIN(PAI) */
/*+ NO_CPU_COSTING */
/*+ USE_NL(HOI,HOU,HSC,PAI,PTP,RPAC,RPPA,PPG,PJOB,PPO) ORDERED */
/*+ NO_USE_NL(HOI) */
/*+ NO_USE_NL(HOI,HOU,HSC) */

Try it and let me know if you need any asssitance

Why? Anyone that uses hints without knowing why is just stupid.
So don't let us stupid, explain you say to use them and especially these ones.
