Hello this is my firt time to your forum. Hope I find what I am looking for. I have been asking this question in every forum but couldn't find a right answer.

I have an update statement, which updates table based on some conditions from big tables in below format


UPDATE VOTING.RECONCILIATION REC SET REC.CURRENT_STATUS_ID=4,
  REC.CURRENT_STATUS_DATE=SYSDATE
WHERE
REC.CURRENT_STATUS_ID IN (2, 3, 4) 
AND REC.SHARES_HELD <> (SELECT
          SUM(B.SHARES_AVAILABLE_TO_VOTE) FROM VOTING.BALLOT  B 
          WHERE B.MEETING_ID=
          REC.MEETING_ID 
  AND B.CUSTODIAN_ACCOUNT_ID=REC.CUSTODIAN_ACCOUNT_ID )


The cost of the query was around 32000 which was not very bad. The query took about a second to complete for a small set of data in this table. My whole pl/sql procedure took about 5 seconds to complete which has 3 other similar statements.

I had to update the history table after each of these update statements. So I introduced RETURNING BULK COLLECT clause to capture the primary key of the table that I updated and use those values to update history table. So my query changed as below.

UPDATE VOTING.RECONCILIATION REC SET REC.CURRENT_STATUS_ID=4,
  REC.CURRENT_STATUS_DATE=SYSDATE
WHERE REC.CURRENT_STATUS_ID IN (2, 3, 4) 
AND REC.SHARES_HELD <> (SELECT SUM(B.SHARES_AVAILABLE_TO_VOTE)
                       FROM VOTING.BALLOT  B 
                       WHERE B.MEETING_ID=REC.MEETING_ID AND 
               B.CUSTODIAN_ACCOUNT_ID=REC.CUSTODIAN_ACCOUNT_ID )
RETURNING REC.RECONCILIATION_ID INTO :O0



Soon I introduced this RETURNING BULK COLLECT INTO cluase my plsql took for ever to complete when I did trace on the pl/sql using dbms_profile it showed that each sql took more than 100 seconds to complete. I never understood why RETURNING BULK COLLECT took such a long time. The returning result set is very small. So it couldn't be an issue of memory.

I expiremented my program by using trigger instead of insert statement from the application. That just took 6-7 seconds and didn't hinder the performance. But trigger is not my soultion as I dont have all the necessary data in the trigger to insert into history table.

So, I further expiremented by doing event trace at level 8 and below is what I found. I noticed that with returning clause the query plan has changed. It was doing FULL table scans on those big tables. Now I dont understand why it would change the plan just to return the result set to pl/sql.

Can you please shed some light on why would optimizer change its plan when there is a returning bulk collect clause

Now that you noticed the changed explain plan why don't you try to investigate on the optimizer choice?

Bye Alessandro

Thanks for your response. I am glad that atlast someone responded to my post. I am new to 10053 event. I have to do some research to run this event. Thanks for the documentation link.

Try this instead.
UPDATE VOTING.RECONCILIATION REC 
SET REC.CURRENT_STATUS_ID=4,
  REC.CURRENT_STATUS_DATE=SYSDATE
WHERE ROWID IN (
  SELECT r.ROWID
  FROM   VOTING.RECONCILIATION R
  LEFT JOIN (
    SELECT meeting_id, custodian_account_id
         , sum(shares_available_to_vote) AS shares_vote
    FROM   voting.ballot
    GROUP BY meeting_id, custodian_account_id
  ) b
  ON  REC.SHARES_HELD = b.shares_vote
  AND B.MEETING_ID = REC.MEETING_ID 
  AND B.CUSTODIAN_ACCOUNT_ID = REC.CUSTODIAN_ACCOUNT_ID
  WHERE R.CURRENT_STATUS_ID IN (2, 3, 4) 
  AND b.meeting_id IS NULL  -- left join failed
)
