Re: slow update on large table
Yes case id is uniqe identifier and both are indexed.
This update takes almost 45 mts. It will updates all the rows in case_info table pesent in case_tab table. Case_tab table contains 40,000 records.
This is strange, I am not sure why it is taking so long time, I have tried analyzed the table.
also just before this update there is a insert on case_tab as
insert /*+ append */ case_id into case_tab
select case_id from case_info
where queue = 'QUE1'
and deliquent_flg = 'Y'
and status_flg = 'A'
fin_id = 'SOME_STR'
All the columns in where condition are having low cardinality records. Hence there is no index on them. Only fin_id is a part of unique key.
queue columns has atmost 90 distinct values.
deliquent_flg columns has atmost 2 distinct values.
status_flg columns has atmost 2 distinct values.
This is also taking lot of time.
Please help.
