Hi All,

we are facing strange problem while selecting data from table.

when we run select statement with out one particular column which has length of Varchar2(4000) query getting completed in just second..

and whenever we inclucde those columns ( we have only two and those just using in select clause) same query taking more than 15 seconds.

Thanking in advance. Smile

It might take time to get a number of these columns over your network: for each row retrieved, you need to pull 8k over the line

Possibly you have an index on the other two columns....

:Possibly you are running this query in SQL*Plus and are seeing the extra time it takes to print out all the data on screen....

Run a SQL Trace and post the TKprof output here.
