RE: Sql Tuning help

Try turning the subquery into a join like this. Also make sure you've got sufficient hash_area_size to do a hash join instead of a sort/merge join. 20m should be plenty. If you have to, put a use_hash hint on the query to force it to a hash join.

SELECT
  to_char(NVL(SUM(bet_amount),0))
FROM
  sb_bets a, customers b
WHERE
  a.processed_DATE between
    add_months(TO_DATE('07011999 000000','MMDDYYYY HH24MISS'),19-1) and
    add_months(TO_DATE('07011999 000000','MMDDYYYY HH24MISS'),19)
  and a.customer_id = b.customer_id and
  b.customer_id=a.customer_id and b.LICENSEE_ID=6130

I have been having some problems with this statement

SELECT to_char(NVL(SUM(bet_amount),0))
FROM sb_bets
WHERE processed_DATE >= add_months(TO_DATE('07011999 000000','MMDDYYYY HH24MISS'),19-1) AND processed_DATE < add_months(TO_DATE('07011999 000000','MMDDYYYY HH24MISS'),19) AND customer_id in (select customer_id
from customers
where customers.customer_id=sb_bets.customer_id and LICENSEE_ID=6130)

Both tables are full access no indexes used.  There is an index on sb_bets.processed_date and customers.customer_id is a primary key and customers.licensee_id has an index also.  Of course this query may just pull too many customer ids to bother with an index.  But that is not too bad only 200000 records in customers but over 12 million in sb_bets.  Is there a better way of writing this query?  I have tried hints but still nothing changed.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

 

Please email me for any further info thanks.
