Not sure if anybody can help me with this because I'm not using PL/SQL but maybe somebody can point me in the right direction. I have an Access database with some tables in it that are linked to an Oracle database. I am running queries on these linked tables in the Access version of SQL, not pass through. I have some queries with inner joins in them but if I change them to an outer join which I need to have in case a lookup record is missing the performance slows dramatically. Any idea why this is and what I can do about it? The queries are used to create Access tables. I tried using a pass-through but that was slow also. I have no control over or direct access to the Oracle database.

Then you have a mystery & we have no way to obtain any clues.
Sad
Can you load client Oracle software on your Windows system?
post results from following SQL below
SELECT * FROM V$VERSION;

Oh, sorry, I do have Oracle client software on my computer. I just have never used it and forgot about it. Should I try creating a query?

I tried that SELECT from Access and got an ODBC call failed error.

You need to do what ever is required to issue that SQL against the Oracle DB.
