Re: Oracle hints issue?

Only difference is TOAD returns the first 100 records whereas in DS it will have to process all the records before any stats is shown That was part of my question Yes, whether DS would wait to read those 30 mil before starting to move on to next stage which i did not expect. Also, when i run from T...

Yes Craig, the explain plan is the same. I just restarted the DS job and checked to confirm that. is it possible that it is going to wait until it reads the entire 30 mil before moving on to next stage? Because when watching the session (from TOAD) when job runs from DS, i see the number of rows pro...

Hi, I have a job design like this ORA->LKP->XFR->ORA The first ORA stage executes a source query running a join between a few huge tables. This query results in close to 30 million records. To tune this query to return records faster, we added some Oracle hints. The query with oracle hints starts pu...

Yes, the job has only two stages ORA -> ORA

Oracle Upsert errors

Hi, I have a strange problem going on with a job design. Job has 2 ORA stages. Source ORA stage is executing a SELECT on source table and pulling some data for a couple of columns. Target ORA stage is executing an Upsert - If seq_no (key column) exists then execute an Update else execute an Insert. ...
