Startup sql performance improvement

We saw sql taking long time in the AWR report


select a.OBJECT_LABEL_ID AS OBJECT_ID, a.WF_NAME AS OBJECT_NAME,

ibs_module.MODULE_NAME AS MODULE_NAME, a.bo_type_name AS BO_NAME,

a.UPDATED_DATE AS UPDATED_DATE, a.UPDATED_BY AS UPDATED_BY,

a.WF_TEMPLATE_VERSION AS WF_TEMPLATE_VERSION,

d.OBJECT_LABEL_ID AS CURRENT_OBJECT_LABEL_ID

from WF_TEMPLATE a, IBS_MODULE, WF_TEMPLATE d

where a.WF_TEMPLATE_ID = ?

and a.BO_CLASS_TYPE_ID = IBS_MODULE.MODULE_ID

and (a.STATUS_ID = 10 or a.STATUS_ID = 25)

and d.WF_TEMPLATE_ID = a.WF_TEMPLATE_ID

and (d.STATUS_ID = 10 or d.STATUS_ID = 25)

and d.WF_TEMPLATE_VERSION in (

select max(WF_TEMPLATE_VERSION) from WF_TEMPLATE

where WF_TEMPLATE_ID = d.WF_TEMPLATE_ID

and (STATUS_ID = 10 or STATUS_ID = 25)

)

order by a.WF_TEMPLATE_VERSION
 

DBA suggest use this sql instead

SELECT a.OBJECT_LABEL_ID AS OBJECT_ID,

a.WF_NAME AS OBJECT_NAME,

ibs_module.MODULE_NAME AS MODULE_NAME,

a.bo_type_name AS BO_NAME,

a.UPDATED_DATE AS UPDATED_DATE,

a.UPDATED_BY AS UPDATED_BY,

a.WF_TEMPLATE_VERSION AS WF_TEMPLATE_VERSION,

d.OBJECT_LABEL_ID AS CURRENT_OBJECT_LABEL_ID

FROM WF_TEMPLATE a, IBS_MODULE, WF_TEMPLATE d

WHERE a.WF_TEMPLATE_ID = :1

AND a.BO_CLASS_TYPE_ID = IBS_MODULE.MODULE_ID

AND a.STATUS_ID IN (10, 25) -- changed from (a.STATUS_ID = 10 OR a.STATUS_ID = 25)

AND d.WF_TEMPLATE_ID = a.WF_TEMPLATE_ID

AND d.STATUS_ID IN (10, 25) -- changed from (d.STATUS_ID = 10 OR d.STATUS_ID = 25)

AND d.WF_TEMPLATE_VERSION IN

(SELECT MAX (WF_TEMPLATE_VERSION)

FROM WF_TEMPLATE

WHERE WF_TEMPLATE_ID = :1 --changed from d.WF_TEMPLATE_ID

AND STATUS_ID IN (10, 25) --changed from AND (STATUS_ID = 10 OR STATUS_ID = 25)

)

ORDER BY a.WF_TEMPLATE_VERSION;

    Hi Narayanan - we'll take this into our 9.3 release and see how we can further optimise this SQL.

    Also are you able to share the performance analysis that you saw on running the SQL? We have tried it in our labs and looks marginal on Oracle and Db2 but maybe we don't have the volume of data there to see the difference. It would be useful to see your before and after.
