Oh well spotted, I'd completely missed that, cursor #14 is MUCH more complex and would require a fair degree of sorts.

Thanks

John/Tim,

The 'direct path read/write' are for cursor #14. The delete is cursor #15. Check the trace file for the preceding cursor #14.

Tim,

As you have seen, this is due to writes to and reads from the TEMPORARY tablespace of that user. This could be due to both SORT segments (SORT_AREA_SIZE overflow) as well as HASH segments due to HASH Joins going to TEMP when they overflow HASH_AREA_SIZE. This can be seen from V$SORT_USAGE.SEGTYPE. Since a DELETE should normally not generate sorting or Hashing, I am assuming that either there are triggers that are forcing this to occur, or this is a view and the INSTEAD OF is performing some inefficient joins...

Andy - just curious how a WHERE clause on a DELETE would generate Sort usage (outside of that explained above)...
