RE: Update of Clobs *Performance*

create index why_full_scan_all_my_clobs_for_each_one_row_update on tableB(tabB_num)

change your where clause to where tabB_num = to_number(v_id)

Think about a commit counter within the loop less than the entire table. Maybe 1000 or 10000?

Subject: Update of Clobs *Performance*

Hi all,

I have a developer who is trying to use PL/SQL to update all of the CLOBS of a specific table (nightly basis). I am looking for advice on how to speed up the performance for this process. SQL tracing the process shows the following before I cancel out.

call count cpu elapsed disk query current rows
------- ------ -------- ---------- ---------- ----------

• ---------- Parse 1 0.00 0.00 0 0 0 0 Execute 19913 5116.93 5266.76 99893046 101038562 3 1 Fetch 0 0.00 0.00 0 0 0 0
  ------- ------ -------- ---------- ---------- ----------
  
• ---------- total 19914 5116.93 5266.76 99893046 101038562 3 1

Thanks

Table_A (141,000 rows, no indexes)
tabA_char VARCHAR2(10)
tabA_clob CLOB

Table_B (145,000 rows, no indexes)
tabB_num number
tabB_clob CLOB

Procedure
declare
v_clob varchar2(32500);
v_id varchar(10);

cursor cont_rep_clob is
select tabA_char, tabA_clob
from Table_A;

begin
open cont_rep_clob;
loop
fetch cont_rep_clob into v_id, v_clob;

exit when cont_rep_clob%NOTFOUND;

update Table_B
set tabB_clob = v_clob
where to_char(tabB_num) = v_id;

commit;

end loop;
close cont_rep_clob;
