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.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Help improve the efficiency of a complex query (Oracle 8i, SQL*Plus) (not urgent but Extremely Difficult IMHO)

Asked by Badotz in Oracle Database

Tags: hsodbc, oracle

Friends,

I need to improve the speed of this query, and don't know how. I
apologize if this isn't the proper group; please point me in the
right direction if not.

The query runs in SQL*Plus and generates a fixed-width output file.
Part of the performance problem is because the tables reside in a
remote DB2 database; the rest comes from my ineptitude as a SQL
programmer.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Here is the query:

select lpad(AddrBook_T.ABAN8,12,'0')||rpad(AddrBook_T.ABALPH,24,' ')||
(
select rpad(ALADD1,24,' ')||rpad(ALADD2,24,' ')||rpad(ALCTY1,15,' ')
||rpad(ALADDS,2,' ')||
substr(replace(replace(ALADDZ,'-'),' ')||'000000000',1,9)
from F0116@HSODBC
where ALAN8 = AddrBook_T.ABAN8
)||
nvl
(
(
select rpad(replace(translate(WPAR1,' -()','~'),'~'),3,'0')||rpad
(replace(translate(WPPH1,' -()','~'),'~'),7,'0')
from F0115@HSODBC
where WPAN8 = AddrBook_T.ABAN8 and WPIDLN = 0 and WPPHTP = '' and
rownum = 1
),'0000000000'
)||
nvl
(
(
select rpad(replace(translate(WPAR1,' -()','~'),'~'),3,'0')||rpad
(replace(translate(WPPH1,' -()','~'),'~'),7,'0')
from F0115@HSODBC
where WPAN8 = AddrBook_T.ABAN8 and WPIDLN = 0 and WPPHTP = 'FAX'
and rownum = 1
),'0000000000'
)||' '||
rpad(replace(translate(upper(ABALPH),' ()+=?%$@!:;"?,/&-
*#''''.','~'),'~'),8,' ')||' '||
