Env: Oracle 8.1.7.4 on RedHat AS2.1 (2.4.9-e.35 kernel)
A developer brought me a query yesterday in which the
introduction of an ORDER BY clause alters the performance
substantially.
The query is as follows:
SELECT reserve_host, usage,
to_char(request_time, 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
FROM licadmin.licmgr_requests
WHERE request_time > to_date('3/14/2004', 'MM/DD/YYYY')
AND release_time < to_date('1970', 'YYYY')
ORDER BY request_time
Without the ORDER BY clause, the query requires about 100
consistent gets, while with the ORDER BY clause it takes over
50000 consistent gets. According to autotrace and tkprof the
execution plans are the same [see below].
