How to decrease time to execute SUM function? Like the following:

It always cost much time to execute SUM function.

Give me some direction.



SQL> SELECT count(postedtt."ttDateTime"),
NVL(SUM(postedtt."Stake"), 0) AS "SumStake"
FROM postedtt
WHERE TO_CHAR(postedtt."ttDateTime", 'YYYY-MM') = '2008-03'

ORDER BY TO_CHAR(postedtt."ttDateTime", 'YYYY-MM-DD');

COUNT(POSTEDtt."ttDATETIME") SumStake

> It always cost much time to execute SUM function.

Specify "much" (in comparition with "little" without it).

Maybe you would benefit with putting "Stake" into index PT_IDX_J.

However if your statistics are correct, 7710 rows selected from "POSTEDtt" are not so much, so it should take reasonable time (even when taken through index). Is that optimizer's estimation correct? How many rows are in "POSTEDtt"? Do you frequently insert/delete data from it?

Check the plan for that last SQL. You will find it is performing a FAST FULL SCAN of an index.

This is much faster than the index range scan you are performing in the other query with associated table access.

As suggested by @flyboy, you could add "ttDateTime" to the PT_IDX_J index and avoid the table lookup. That would be better.

It's got nothing to do with the SUM(), except for the fact that you are summing a non-indexed column.

Oh! I have added "ttDateTime" before.

The index PT_IDX_J is:

create index PT_IDX_J
on "postedtt"(
to_char("ttDateTime", 'YYYY-MM')
);

Mr. rleishman, you are right. "FAST FULL SCAN of an index"

If I change SQL to the following. it's very fast. Just add SUM function will become very slow. Wooo...

SQL> SELECT count(postedtt."ttDateTime"),
FROM postedtt
WHERE TO_CHAR(postedtt."ttDateTime", 'YYYY-MM') = '2008-03'
ORDER BY TO_CHAR(postedtt."ttDateTime", 'YYYY-MM-DD');

COUNT(POSTEDTICKET."TICKETDATE
------------------------------
453803
