Have they been analyzed recently? as if you were using histograms then if the last two months were added after your last analyze it would think they were fairly rare.

Hi all:

I have a query, which behaves differently depending on the input data (month/year). I have more than 15month worth of data in the database. The query is completed under 1 minute for the first 13 month, but for the last two months it just doesn't finish. I have cancelled it after 36 minutes. The explain plans are
differ in that the "quick" query uses more hash jonts, while "slow" one utilizes more nested loops. All the tables are analyzed. This must have something to do with the data distribution, but what? Can anyone shed some light onto that?
