Optimizing SQL Performance

Held on July 12 2018

In July's session we mainly looked at performance. Highlights include:

1:30 How does the database process subqueries?
5:20 Performance: comparing insert ... select to create tmp table, insert select from tmp; DDL in PL/SQL; dynamic SQL problems
12:45 18c private temporary tables; tables specific to a session; DDL you can rollback across!
21:00 Improving update performance: things to watch for; insert vs. update; "join-update" - create a view instead; create table as select "update"
34:05 Analytic function performance: first_value non-determinism; min keep vs first_value; computing function in a subquery; indexes for analytic functions
