No, the cost is not a true representative of time and cost is not *everything*.  If no one is complaining and you are happy with the performance, I would not concern myself with the cost that is being reported.  Thanks!

Subject: High query cost but low execution time  

Hi,
I have a statement which produces a high CBO cost but executes very quickly, as shown below. Based on the execution timings, is the cost figure a true representative of the response time? The DB version is 11.1.0.7.

Thanks

Amir
