Re: large SORT_AREA_SIZE usefullness

Hello Johnson,

There are great papers at
http://www.fortunecity.com/skyscraper/oracle/699/orahtml/

But, I still disagree with you. Becasue, tuning SORT will not make benefit in your case.

yes, you are right, it's not easy to generate good SQL if SQL is generated by end-users. I don't know your design, perhaps, you can add hidden indexed-columns to generated SQLs to make end-users to use indexes.

regards...
