I was stuck in identifying where was i wrong. did the exact same way, but it was still taking FULL table scan, Later found that there are 3 columns in the select clause those are not indexed. commenting them out.. let it take FAST FULL SCAN. it is lot better now.
But I need to include those 3 columns in the SELECT. Any suggestions? what am i missing?
