The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Count Total Records Using PL/SQL

Asked by chrismarx in PL / SQL, Oracle Database, Oracle 10.x

Tags: count, total, records, oracle, sql

Hi,
I have a query that returns about 100,000 records in about .2 seconds. However, I need to return the count(*) of these records, and that takes about 17 seconds. I have tried various sql approaches

(see this thread:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Database/Oracle/Q_22995116.html)

and I am already implementing those suggestions, and it still take 17 seconds. I have also written the follow proc, which, annoyingly, takes exactly the same amount of time to complete. It appears the even using bulk collect, it takes 17 seconds to get the records from the cursor, even though i'm only retrieving a single column, which is just numbers (and that column is indexed).

is there ANY faster way to do this?
