Hi All,

One of system started to choke today and apparantly it turned to be the sql that was executed more often had sub-optimal plan. After digging around i noticed that the index was fragmented as the index was heavily inserted/deleted and the query was using tablescan to index fast full scan. The index was a contcatenated index on type and last modified date which gets updated on last_modified_date often.

LBLKS: 66653
BlVL: 3
CF: 679426
NROWS: 829734
AVG_DATA_BLK/KEY: 2 Coalescing the index got the lblks to 11k and the desired plan however, the performance is still under water. 10046 trace on the sql is

select count(*)
from
objects where type = 'live'

call count cpu elapsed disk query current rows

Any suggestions as to what i should be looking further. I really don't want to rebuild the index :)

Thanks,
Stalin
