There are two odd features I would pursue:
There is no join to the customer table and that
is why (I guess) you have a cartesian merge
join between CUSTOMER and everything else.
The second thing is that despite the inlist iterator,
Oracle thinks that the rest of the query will return
approximately one row. So are the statistics
out of date in a critical way - e.g. is the serieno
that you list generate by a sequence and analyzed
in such a way that your supplied values are all
far out from the actual column values (check
low and high in user_tab_columns).
The oddity about the plan is that the inlist
iterator (which others have explained) is
followed by Oracle doing:
get rowids
convert rowids to bitmap
convert bitmap to rowids
get rows by rowid.
Conversion usually happens so that something
useful can happen between the two stages
(such as bitmap AND, bitmap MERGE etc.)

|Hi, list.

and
|explain'ed it. I've never seen an "in list iterator" before. Can
anyone
|tell me what that is???
