Dear list,
I have a DB (12.1.0.2 - Jan 2018 BP - 2 node RAC)
with a table "SYSSTAT_METRICS" which holds regular snapshots of sysstat
metrics of many DBs.
the table has
columns STAT_NAME, SNAP_TIME, DATABASE_ID, INSTANCE_NAME, SERVER,
STARTUP_TIME, VALUE.
The table is partitioned by LIST ("STAT_NAME") and subpartitioned BY RANGE
("SNAP_TIME")
The SNAP_TIME subpartitions are monthly partitions. (details at the end of
this email)
I want to have a View query which gives daily last snap_time & value for every stat, db, instance, server. In this view I'd like to efficient filter by STAT_NAME (most only 1 statistic of interest) and SNAP_TIME (e.g. last month or last 3 month - or December-2017).
I have a select like this:
with raw_data as (select /*+ NO_INDEX( h ) */ h.*, h.snap_time snap_time2
from sysstat_metrics h
where 1=1
* and snap_time >= sysdate - 3*
), better as (
select stat_name, instance_name, database_id, server, trunc(snap_time)
trunc_snap, snap_time, value, rank()
OVER (PARTITION BY STAT_NAME, instance_name,database_id, server,
trunc(SNAP_TIME) ORDER BY SNAP_TIME desc) as rr
from raw_data)
select
-- BX011
*
from better
where rr=1
and stat_name='physical read bytes'
-- and snap_time >= sysdate - 3
;
The Plan shows

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
1 - filter("RR"=1)
2 - filter(RANK() OVER ( PARTITION BY
"H"."STAT_NAME","H"."INSTANCE_NAME","H"."DATABASE_ID","H"."SERVER",TRUNC(INTERNAL_FUNCTION("H"."
SNAP_TIME")) ORDER BY INTERNAL_FUNCTION("SNAP_TIME") DESC
)<=1)
*5 - filter("SNAP_TIME">=SYSDATE_at_!-3)*
and it's nice as there is a PARTITION RANGE ITERATOR (so not all range partitions are used at all) and the Filter is quite early.
But if I change the same filter down to the "outer" subquery:
with raw_data as (select /*+ NO_INDEX( h ) */ h.*, h.snap_time snap_time2
from sysstat_metrics h
where 1=1
*--* and snap_time >= sysdate - 3
), better as (
select stat_name, instance_name, database_id, server, trunc(snap_time)
trunc_snap, snap_time, value, rank()
OVER (PARTITION BY STAT_NAME, instance_name,database_id, server,
trunc(SNAP_TIME) ORDER BY SNAP_TIME desc) as rr
from raw_data)
select
-- BX012
*
from better
where rr=1
and stat_name='physical read bytes'
* and snap_time >= sysdate - 3*
;
The plan changes to ugly

Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
*1* - filter(("RR"=1 AND *"SNAP_TIME">=SYSDATE_at_!-3*)) 2 - filter(RANK() OVER ( PARTITION BY "H"."STAT_NAME","H"."INSTANCE_NAME","H"."DATABASE_ID","H"."SERVER",TRUNC(INTERNAL_FUNCTION("H"."SNAP_TIME")) ORDER BY INTERNAL_FUNCTION("H"."SNAP_TIME") DESC )<=1)
Here the statement uses much more partitions
and the filter is much later.
I am aware there is a slightly difference if I filter *snap_time >= sysdate
- 3* in early with clause or after the PARTITON BY window function - but
such oddities would be acceptable for this kind of data ;-).
Does anyone have an idea how I can to PARTITION RANGE ITERATOR with a filter on the snap_time, which is the order/rank in PARTITION BY?
(before anyone asks, the NO_INDEX is to avoid this "good" plan which doesn't change anything, but could be confusing)

thank you for any advise,
