Hi Raja,

How big is the database? You full scanned almost 2,000,000 rows in 32 seconds? Granted, you could have a 2,000 row table that was scanned 1000 times in that period, but compared to 231,0000 gets by rowid (probably index) that seems really high for that period of time.

What does the SQL look like?
