Query Tunning [message #477002]

SELECT DISTINCT a.colA, a.ColB, a.ColC
FROM TableA a, TableB b
WHERE a.ColA = b.ColA AND b.ColA IS NULL;

TableB has approx 2.6 million records while TableA is much smaller

However, this query takes days to complete

I am not a Oracle guy, and I need to get this query optimised to execute in minutes

By the way:

Quote:

WHERE a.ColA = b.ColA AND b.ColA IS NULL;

This is NEVER true, so the query will ALWAYS return no row.

>However, this query takes days to complete
I do not believe you.

posted SQL should return no rows

SELECT DISTINCT a.colA, a.ColB, a.ColC FROM TableA a WHERE a.ColA IS NULL;
It would be helpful if you followed Posting Guidelines - http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/88153/0/

enabled SQL_TRACE & post results back here

My mistake...

Till I post some more information I'll correct the query here:

SELECT DISTINCT a.colA, a.ColB, a.ColC
FROM TableA a, TableB b
WHERE a.ColA = b.ColA AND b.ColB IS NULL;
