    well in order to make query efficient or to speed up the query adopt the following ways:-

    1. use different type of indexes.
    2. properly locate different DB objects across different tablespaces, files .
    3. In last drop all those indexes which are of no use.

    Your query might run fast end of the month, but is it optimal for everyday running?

  • 1. Review the query, it is using index or not
    2. Create proper index
    3. Make query to use proper index
    4. Rebuild index, if required and it is using index already
    5. Review exectution plan for query, if it is using joins, to get some idea to write better join or another way to write qeury

    Thanks, Virul
