How do I speed up a union query in Oracle database?
Posted on 2009-05-04
This is the query:
SELECT EXCEPTION_TYPE,
NVL(LAST_CHG_DATE, TRUNC(SYSDATE)) LAST_CHG_DATE, HOUSE, CUST,
(CASE WHEN OPER = 'D80' THEN '000' ELSE OPER END) OPER,
(CASE WHEN OPER_NAME = 'USER-ITCDEMO' THEN 'UNKNOWN' ELSE OPER_NAME END) OPER_NAME
FROM
(SELECT EXCEPTION_TYPE, LAST_CHG_DATE, HOUSE, CUST, OPER, OPER_NAME from EXCEPT_HSI_PHONE_ONLY_CHG
UNION
SELECT EXCEPTION_TYPE, LAST_CHG_DATE, HOUSE, CUST, OPER, OPER_NAME FROM EXCEPT_MULT_VID_PKG
UNION
SELECT EXCEPTION_TYPE, LAST_CHG_DATE, HOUSE, CUST, OPER, OPER_NAME FROM EXCEPT_MULT_VID_SERV
UNION
SELECT EXCEPTION_TYPE, LAST_CHG_DATE, HOUSE, CUST, OPER, OPER_NAME FROM EXCEPT_MULT_VID_BUS
UNION
SELECT EXCEPTION_TYPE, LAST_CHG_DATE, HOUSE, CUST, OPER, OPER_NAME FROM EXCEPT_NO_DVR_CHG
UNION
SELECT EXCEPTION_TYPE, LAST_CHG_DATE, HOUSE, CUST, OPER, OPER_NAME FROM EXCEPT_DIG_ST_CHG
UNION

UNION
SELECT EXCEPTION_TYPE, LAST_CHG_DATE, HOUSE, CUST, OPER, OPER_NAME FROM EXCEPT_TENANT_CHG
UNION
SELECT EXCEPTION_TYPE, LAST_CHG_DATE, HOUSE, CUST, OPER, OPER_NAME FROM EXCEPT_XF_MISSING
UNION
SELECT EXCEPTION_TYPE, LAST_CHG_DATE, HOUSE, CUST, OPER, OPER_NAME FROM EXCEPT_XG_MISSING
UNION
SELECT EXCEPTION_TYPE, LAST_CHG_DATE, HOUSE, CUST, OPER, OPER_NAME FROM EXCEPT_NO_SUBWISE
UNION
SELECT EXCEPTION_TYPE, LAST_CHG_DATE, HOUSE, CUST, OPER, OPER_NAME FROM EXCEPT_NO_SALES_REP
UNION
SELECT EXCEPTION_TYPE, LAST_CHG_DATE, HOUSE, CUST, OPER, OPER_NAME FROM EXCEPT_CANCEL_NP
UNION
SELECT EXCEPTION_TYPE, LAST_CHG_DATE, HOUSE, CUST, OPER, OPER_NAME FROM EXCEPT_PREF_NEW_VIDEO_ONLY
UNION
SELECT EXCEPTION_TYPE, LAST_CHG_DATE, HOUSE, CUST, OPER, OPER_NAME FROM EXCEPT_PREF_NO_3BRONZE
UNION
SELECT EXCEPTION_TYPE, LAST_CHG_DATE, HOUSE, CUST, OPER, OPER_NAME FROM EXCEPT_BUS_LITE
)
WHERE HOUSE <> '118247'

is HOUSE a numeric column? If so,
change
WHERE HOUSE <> '118247'
to
WHERE HOUSE <> 118247
what is the distribution of data in each table for various HOUSE values? Is NOT 118247 a small portion or are you selecting nearly every row in every table.

to really optimize this query, put the condition inside the subquery, and also use UNION ALL instead of UNION
the tip of sdstuber still applies.

using "UNION ALL" will include duplicates "UNION" will remove them.
It's not just a performance issue but functionally different. If your data is already unique between tables then definitely use UNION ALL
if it is not and you want the duplicates then use UNION ALL.
Depending on your database you shouldn't have to put the where clause inside the sub-query. Oracle, for instance, will push that clause for you

agreed. however, most people starting with sql only know UNION, and never heard about "UNION ALL" in their lessons (blaming the teachers, it was the same for me!)

from what I know, better safe then sorry... especially as I do migration of sql from one platform to another all the time ...
