Hi Sandra,

What was the hardware platform that you migrated this system from? Was it T5 or other?

Regards,

Mark

As usual, very little activity on this database over the weekend. Yesterday morning we were contacted by internal users that performance was much worse than on the old hardware for a specific query on a really ugly view. A look at the execution plan shows multiple full table scans on some partitioned tables, some very large. There are about 15 tables joined to create the view, some more than once. They claim the view is no longer doing partition pruning, as it did before the switchover. I can't prove that it was/wasn't exhibiting this behavior before the switchover. They are insisting we run I/O calibration. I'm not familiar with it so I went to the docs. This database shares storage with quite a few production databases so I want to be very careful how I go about this.
