Re: Update query performance with some buggy behavior

I think you should fix the buggy code first as Andrew suggested as that is not anyway as per your business logic. However, there was a bug in 11.2 wrt cell smart scan disabled for DML. So mostly you are not seeing cell offload because of that. And fix for that would be either force the smartscan using _serial_direct_read to force true before this update or make it bulk update so that this querying part can be converted to cursor select query so that you will be benefited of cell smartscan automatically.
