Hey all,

As I'm doing some perf tuning on a procedure using a 10046 trace with tkprof
(8.1.7 on HP/UX 11.0). One of the queries from the tkprof has the following
output:

SELECT QPM.PRODUCTLINE PL,MIN(PLN.PLANNERNO) PNO FROM
VISIB.QT_PRODUCTLINE_MEMBERS QPM,VISIB.PLANNERS PLN WHERE UPPER(RTRIM(QPM.USERID)) = UPPER(RTRIM(PLN.PLANNER)) AND QPM.PRODUCTLINE =
:b1 GROUP BY PRODUCTLINE

      0  SELECT STATEMENT   GOAL: CHOOSE
      0   SORT (GROUP BY NOSORT)
      0    HASH JOIN
      0     TABLE ACCESS   GOAL: ANALYZED (FULL) OF 
                'QT_PRODUCTLINE_MEMBERS'
      0     TABLE ACCESS   GOAL: ANALYZED (FULL) OF 'PLANNERS'

Yes, this is obviously bad by design. What I don't understand is the high "current" count. From the docs, it says that this is normal for DML, but says nothing about what this means for queries. The SELECT statement is defined as a cursor, and there is no "FOR UPDATE OF" clause in the cursor.

I've searched through Metalink about this, but haven't had any luck. Does anyone have an explanation?

TIA,
Rich
