Hi,

We have some performance issues with 'CONNECT BY PRIOR' SQL statement and trying to find an alternate SQL which gives the same output.

Example:
ENum-----------------Mgr
Julie
Andrew---------------Julie
Mark-----------------Andrew
Matt-----------------Andrew
Wyatt----------------Julie
Jenny----------------Wyatt

SELECT enum, mgr FROM <table> START WITH enum IS NULL
CONNECT BY PRIOR enum = mgr;

Output:
-------
Julie
---Andrew
------Mark
------Matt
---Wyatt
------Jenny
---Joel

How do I get the same output without using CONNECT BY PRIOR command. I don't mind creating a new table that will keep all the possible combinations between enum and mgr columns. we are using this sql in a procedure and this query is required for 300000 records. I understand that it is gud for 30-40K records. so looking for some alternate.

Please provide your solution. I really appreciate it.


Thanks in advance,

Miki

What version of Oracle are you using.

10g introduced some MAJOR improvements to CONNECT BY, not just in functionality but also in performance.

Before you go spending $$ downgrading your datamodel, you might fist consider a free upgrade to 10g.

If you are using 10g, post your query and the Explain Plan here.

Be sure that the issue comes from "connect by" and not the rest.
As always, execution, statistics, index, table description and so on and so on.
