Re: Improving performance of calculations in PL/SQL

Hi CE,

Have you run the PL/SQL profiler? against the PL/SQL to get an idea as to what it is doing? It is loaded with the script $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/adm in/profload.sql - you run it by starting the profiler, run your PL/SQL and then stop the profiler. You can then run two reports against it with $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/profrep.sql and profsum.sql.

I would also guess the real app does much more, it has to load the data to use and unload the results to somewhere so you should also run a normal 10046 trace and analyse if the PL/SQL is really the issue or not.

hth

kind regards

Pete
