Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: can't get a simple query to use an index
Are order_header_id and xxxx the same datatype? If not, the implicit =
conversion will prevent the index from being used.

Subject: can't get a simple query to use an index
This started out with a simple query involving 2 tables that was taking
entirely too long....it has been reduced to the easiest of statements in =
an
attempt to for the query to use a stupid index that I'm quite confident =
will
speed things up. Here's as much relevant info as I can think of:
Optimizer_idex_cost_adj =3D 100 (I know)
Table was analyzed with dbms_stats.gather_table_stats with 'for all =
indexed
columns' option.
There is an non-unique index on order_header_id
18368689 rows in order_log.
3606306 distinct order_header_id's in order_log
Select rowid from order_log where order_header_id =3D XXXX;
4 rows returned
Full table scan in trace
Select select /*+ index(order_log) */ rowid from order_log where order_header_id =3D XXXX;
4 rows returned
Full table scan in trace
Alter session set Optimizer_idex_cost_adj =3D 1;
Session altered
Select rowid from order_log where order_header_id =3D XXXX;
4 rows returned
Full table scan in trace
Select select /*+ index(order_log) */ rowid from order_log where order_header_id =3D XXXX;
4 rows returned
Full table scan in trace
I tried adding the index name to the hint with the same result.
What else can I do to force an index lookup?
