This topic is better handled over at /. than here True enough in the general sense, though I don't necessarily think it off topic here, as many of us use it to run Oracle. And there is usually far too much garbage as /. to get involved in the discussions, at least IMO. Jared Paul

Wolfgang, I want it (select_sen_emp_chk_first) evaluated first because it is a prog (PL/SQL) variable. I assume it would be faster than others. Since : It does not have to go to table data to evaluate that like it would have to for dept or salary. Thank YouWolfgang Breitling [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi, Joshi, The only hint that may affect the evaluation order in the WHERE clause is ORDERED_PREDICATES. But I don't know who actually got it to work. The chapter Optimizer Hints in Performance Tuning Guide talks about it. It also says if you don't have this hint, there's a certain order in which

RE: PCTFREE and PCTUSED

2003-11-04 Thread Tim Fleury
PCTUSED comes into play when rows are deleted from the block. If enough data is deleted from a block to cause the block to fall below 60% used (PCTUSED), the block goes back on the freelist for subsequent inserts/updates. -Original Message- Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2003 3:09 PM To:

Re: PCTFREE and PCTUSED

2003-11-04 Thread Jared . Still
Your example block can be 60% full and not be on the free list. Once your block reaches 90% full, it is removed from the free list. It will not be put on the free list again until used space in the block falls below PCTUSED, which is 40% in your example. So, a block fills up, it is removed

RE: PCTFREE and PCTUSED

2003-11-04 Thread Tim Fleury
To use your numbers, the block can fill to 90% (100-PCTFREE) at which time it comes off the freelist. If you delete rows until the block falls below 40% used (PCTUSED), the block will go back on the freelist. -Original Message- Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2003 3:09 PM To: Multiple
