Hi All,
Suppose I have a query like below,

        SELECT i.credit_request_id, i.irregularity_id, i.dol_request_id
          FROM *IRREGULARITY* i
         WHERE i.irregularity_type_code IN ('UNACTIONED_DOL', 'DECLINED_DOL')
        UNION ALL
        SELECT ih.credit_request_id, ih.irregularity_id, ih.dol_request_id
          FROM *IRREGULARITY_HISTORY* ih
         WHERE ih.irregularity_type_code IN ('UNACTIONED_DOL', 'DECLINED_DOL')

In the above query, first table contains the current month data and the second contains only history data.

The requirement is to have both current and histroy data for some validations. Tell me, is this the only way(LIKE UNION ALL) to get both details or any other possibility available.

Because this takes more time when added as an inline view in a SQL query.

Please advice.

Thanks & Regards,
Marlon

The other possibility is to push the condition on irregularity_type_code outside the UNION ALL.

Thanks Michel.

But this one also takes the same elapsed time.

Can you please suggest me any other alternative.

And also these two tables has got indexes but am not able to use or join with other tables because of this UNION ALL approach.

SAMPLE QUERY
-------------
SELECT * FROM TABLE T1,TABLE_TWO T2,(
SELECT I.CREDIT_REQUEST_ID, I.IRREGULARITY_ID, I.DOL_REQUEST_ID
FROM IRREGULARITY I
WHERE I.IRREGULARITY_TYPE_CODE IN ('UNACTIONED_DOL', 'DECLINED_DOL')
UNION ALL
SELECT IH.CREDIT_REQUEST_ID, IH.IRREGULARITY_ID, IH.DOL_REQUEST_ID
FROM IRREGULARITY_HISTORY IH
WHERE IH.IRREGULARITY_TYPE_CODE IN ('UNACTIONED_DOL', 'DECLINED_DOL')
) T3
WHERE T1.COL1 = T2.COL1
AND T2.COL2 = T3.COL2


Thanks & Regards,
Marlon

How about posting the explain plan for that query along with a list of indexes available for each table.
Also what's the performance like if you don't use an inline view and just do the union all in the main query?

You can rewrite the three table query:
SELECT * 
FROM (SELECT I.CREDIT_REQUEST_ID
            ,I.IRREGULARITY_ID
            ,I.DOL_REQUEST_ID
      FROM   IRREGULARITY I
            ,TABLE T1
            ,TABLE_TWO T2
      WHERE  I.IRREGULARITY_TYPE_CODE IN ('UNACTIONED_DOL', 'DECLINED_DOL')
      AND    T1.COL1 = T2.COL1
      AND    T2.COL2 = I.COL2
UNION ALL
      SELECT IH.CREDIT_REQUEST_ID
            ,IH.IRREGULARITY_ID
            ,IH.DOL_REQUEST_ID
      FROM   IRREGULARITY_HISTORY IH
            ,TABLE T1
            ,TABLE_TWO T2
      WHERE IH.IRREGULARITY_TYPE_CODE IN ('UNACTIONED_DOL', 'DECLINED_DOL')
      AND    T1.COL1 = T2.COL1
      AND    T2.COL2 = I.COL2
) T3

or
WITH T AS (SELECT *
                 FROM   TABLE T1
                       ,TABLE T2
                 WHERE  T1.COL1 = T2.COL1)
SELECT * 
FROM (SELECT I.CREDIT_REQUEST_ID
            ,I.IRREGULARITY_ID
            ,I.DOL_REQUEST_ID
      FROM   IRREGULARITY I
            ,T
      WHERE  I.IRREGULARITY_TYPE_CODE IN ('UNACTIONED_DOL', 'DECLINED_DOL')
      AND    T.COL2 = I.COL2
UNION ALL
      SELECT IH.CREDIT_REQUEST_ID
            ,IH.IRREGULARITY_ID
            ,IH.DOL_REQUEST_ID
      FROM   IRREGULARITY_HISTORY IH
            ,T
      WHERE IH.IRREGULARITY_TYPE_CODE IN ('UNACTIONED_DOL', 'DECLINED_DOL')
      AND    T.COL2 = I.COL2
) T3


Both of those should allow better index use on the two unioned queries.

Is there any actual point to the inline view in example 1?

Thanks JRowBottom.

Please explain me about the WITH Clause SELECT query.
I need to select the columns from other tables and join with
the UNION ALL inline view.

Regards,
Marlon

It is called subquery_factoring_clause, read the link.
