Hi,
I am searching for a max(reading_time), sysdate function to get the maximum reading_time and sysdate, but it takes 20 seconds to return. I have an index for it but it is using another index even if I try to use index in hints

eg:

select /*+ index(TRACKING_DATA$REVCODED) */ round((sysdate - max(reading_time))*84600/60,2) as time_diff, sysdate from almasar.bt_mls_tracking_data a where reversegeocoded = 1

when I check explain plan, it is using full scan. Please give me optimized way to achieve this.

Please help,
Regards,
Noor

P.S. - I also used /*+ rule */, but it works only when I get back single value. I also want sysdate to be returned along with max() value.

Remove the hint and post the relevant information requested for all tuning questions.

Read OraFAQ Forum Guide, How to Identify Performance Problem and Bottleneck and OraFAQ Oracle SQL Tuning Guide.

You will need an index on (reversegeocoded, reading_time).

You will also need to gather statistics on both the table and the index, and then remove the hint.
