Hi,
I've got an application query that is taking hours to run. After tracing and running tkprof, I see the execution plan below. Yes, it's a monster of a query, but Oracle seems to handle it pretty well except for the huge amount of rows being returned by the SORT (GROUP BY) step. How can it possibly have to sort so many rows (1.1 Billion!), when it is only getting 237,018 rows from the previous NESTED LOOP step? Any idea how to prevent or minimize this sort?
Thanks!
Brandon
