Answer / abhijit

Use query analyzer to see the execution path and find
bottlenecks such as full table scans for tables with huge
number of rows.

Make sure you use the indexed columns in where clause, this
can lead to a phenomenal jump in query execution speed.

Answer / hutashan

Avoid implicit datatype conversion
Avoid using function on an indexed column
Avoid comparing column value with NULL
Outer Join
Use OR carefully

Always use NOT EXISTS instead of NOT IN


Use UNION ALL whenever possible (no implicit sorts)
UNION will sort the result set for each SELECT before
combining the final result set
Remove DISTINCT keyword from SELECT if UNION is used

Answer / shail

Use function based index.
Ex: you have a date column and a simple index on it.
maximum queries referring to this column of this table
are like trunc(date_column). Then the index on this column
will be ignored. For this you can have function based index
like trunc(date_column) on this column.
This will speed up your sqls.

Answer / rupa

Most often, Databases have bad designs and are not
normalized. This can greatly affect the speed of your
Database. As a general case, learn the 3 Normal Forms and
apply them at all times. The normal forms above 3rd Normal
Form are often called de-normalization forms but what this
really means is that they break some rules to make the
Database faster.

What I suggest is to stick to the 3rd normal form except if
you are a DBA (which means you know subsequent forms and
know what you're doing). Normalization after the 3rd NF is
often done at a later time, not during design.
