Optimize counts in SELECT with JOIN on Oracle - oracle

Hello all :) I have two tables that are about 30 millions rows each, and I'm seeking to improve performance when counts are performed.
Here is the query:
SELECT count(*)
FROM VEHICULE v
JOIN CLIENT c ON c.CL_ID = v.VE_CL_ID
WHERE v.VE_BRAND = 'MITSUBISHI'
AND c.CL_COUNTRY = 'SPAIN';
The foreign key is declared in the VEHICULE table
CONSTRAINT "VEHICULE_CLIENT_FK" FOREIGN KEY ("VE_CL_ID")
REFERENCES "MY_SCHEMA"."CLIENT" ("CL_ID") ENABLE
And there is an index on the foreign key:
CREATE INDEX "MY_SCHEMA"."VEHICULE_INDEX_CLIENT" ON "MY_SCHEMA"."VEHICULE" ("CL_ID")
There are indexes also on the columns used for the search criteria.
The requests can take up to 40 seconds. I have looked at bitmap joins indexes but I don't know if it will help, as bitmap joins are supposed to be for columns with low cardinalities. Is this the only type of index for joins? I'm totally at a loss at how I can improve the performance.
EDIT:
Here is what the SQL tuning advisor of SQL developer displays (execution plan)
The sql for this query is without AND c.CL_COUNTRY = 'SPAIN'

Create composite indexes on client (cl_country, cl_id) and vehicule (ve_brand, ve_cl_id) (both in this order).
This way you could get rid of table access on both tables.
If you have but a few countries and brands possible you could also partition the indexes by country and brand so that INDEX FAST FULL SCAN could be used instead of INDEX RANGE SCAN.
You could also consider creating a cluster on client.id which would make the vehicle and client data to be stored in same or nearby data blocks, thus improving I/O.

Limit rows examined in Oracle

My table has millions of records. In this query below, can I make Oracle 12c examine the first X rows only instead of doing a full table scan?
The value of X, I imagine should be Offset + Fetch Next , so in this case 15
SELECT * FROM table OFFSET 5 ROWS FETCH NEXT 10 ROWS ONLY;
Thanks in advance
Edit 1
These are the tables involved and this is the actual query
Orders - This table has 113k records in my test DB ( and over 8 million in prod db like my original question mentioned)
--------------------------
| Id | SKUField1|SKUField2|
--------------------------
| 1 | Value1 | Value2 |
| 2 | Value2 | Value2 |
| 3 | Value1 | Value3 |
--------------------------
Products - This table has 2 million records in my test DB ( prod db is similar)
---------------
| PId| SKU_NUM|
---------------
| 1 | Value1 |
| 2 | Value2 |
| 3 | Value3 |
---------------
Note that values of Orders.SKUField1 and Orders.SKUField2 come from the Products.SKU_NUM values
Actual Query:
SELECT /*+ gather_plan_statistics */ Id, PId, SKUField1, SKUField2, SKU_NUM
FROM Orders
LEFT JOIN (
-- this inner query reduces size of Products from 2 million rows down to 1462 rows
select * from Products where SKU_NUM in (
select SKUField1 from Orders
)
) p1 ON SKUField1 = p1.SKU_NUM
LEFT JOIN (
-- this inner query reduces size of table B from 2 million rows down to 459 rows
select * from Products where SKU_NUM in (
select SKUField2 from Orders
)
) p4 ON SKUField2 = p4.SKU_NUM
OFFSET 5 ROWS FETCH NEXT 10 ROWS ONLY

Hence, based on the "A-Rows" column values for row Ids 8 and 16 in the execution plan, it seems like there are full table scans on the Orders table (though row id 16 atleast seems to be using an index). So my question is is it true that there is a full table scan on the orders table even though I am using Offset/Fetch Next
Although your FETCH clause may use a full table scan, Oracle will still only fetch the first X rows from the table.
In the following example, the "TABLE ACCESS FULL" operation does start to read the entire table, but it gets cutoff part of the way through by the "WINDOW NOSORT STOPKEY" operation. Not all full table scans actually scan the full table. You would see similar behavior if your code ended with WHERE ROWNUM <= 50.
CREATE TABLE some_table AS SELECT * FROM all_objects;
EXPLAIN PLAN FOR SELECT * FROM some_table OFFSET 5 ROWS FETCH NEXT 10 ROWS ONLY;
SELECT * FROM TABLE(dbms_xplan.display);

The performance implications get more complicated if you also want to order the results. If that is the case, you may want to post the full query and execution plan.
(EDIT: 2022-09-25)
Yes, there is a full table scan on the ORDERS table happening on line 8 of the execution plan. As you mentioned, you can look at the "A-rows" column to tell what's really happening.
But the third full table scan of ORDERS, on line 19, is not a "full" full table scan. The operation "WINDOW NOSORT STOPKEY" stops that full table scan as soon as the 15 necessary rows are read. So the FETCH syntax is helping at least a little.
Applying a FETCH to a query does not mean that every single table will be limited. Although, in your query, it does seem like there ought to be a way to reduce the full table scans. Perhaps an index on SKUField1 would help?
Since Oracle as I know don't provide something like limit or top you can created by yourself like the following:
what is happening here, the inner query gets all the first 10 records and the outer query get those, you can still use any clauses like where or order or any others
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE CustomerID <= 10 ORDER BY CustomerID
)

Explanation of Oracle PARTITION BY vs GROUP BY for similar results

I have the following table (Marks):
firstname lastname Mark
------------------------------
arun prasanth 40
ann antony 45
sruthy abc 41
new abc 47
arun prasanth 45
arun prasanth 49
ann antony 49
And would like to add a column that tags if a record with specific columns occurs more than once. This is the result:
firstname lastname Mark MULTI_FLAG
----------------------------------------------
arun prasanth 40 1
ann antony 45 1
sruthy abc 41 0
new abc 47 0
arun prasanth 45 1
arun prasanth 49 1
ann antony 49 1
I can get the result with the following GROUP BY query:
SELECT M1.firstname
,M1.lastname
,M1.Mark
,M2.MULTI_COUNT
FROM Marks M1
JOIN (SELECT firstname, lastname, CASE WHEN COUNT (*) > 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS MULTI_COUNT
FROM Marks
GROUP BY firstname, lastname) M2
ON M2.firstname = M1.firstname AND M2.lastname = M1.lastname;
Or by this much prettier PARTITION BY query:
SELECT
firstname,
lastname,
CASE WHEN COUNT(*) OVER (PARTITION BY
firstname,
lastname) > 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS MULTI_FLAG
FROM
Marks
Running the GROUP BY query on a similar large table returned in:
34 m 56 s 595 ms
Running the PARTITION BY query on a similar large table returned in:
First run: 55 m 47 s 851 ms
Second run: 36 m 46 s 95 ms

Typically you start with the analytic function count(*) which leads to a compact SQL.
The drawback of this aproach is that the data must be sorted (see WINDOW SORT operation). The GROUP BY approach avoids
the sorting as HASH GROUP BY may be used, which can lead to a better performance.
Your example is a bit more involved, as you do not use table but a view that joins three tables - this join is performed twice, for the GROUP BY and for the detail data; which
is of course not optimal.
So I'll start with the analytic function version of the query (possible with a PARALLELoption).
If you want to try the GROUP BY a lightway version is possible:
1) group only the duplicated keys
2) make OUTER JOIN to assign the MULTI_FLAG
example with execution plan below - simple test with your data
with dups as (
select firstname,lastname from tmp
group by firstname,lastname
having count(*) > 1)
select tmp.FIRSTNAME, tmp.LASTNAME, tmp.MARK,
case when dups.firstname is not NULL then 1 else 0 end as MULTI_FLAG
from tmp
left outer join dups on tmp.firstname = dups.firstname and tmp.lastname = dups.lastname;
You still need to access your view twice, but the final join will be faster (espetially if you have only small number of duplicated keys).

Join Two Big Tables Fast

after research via playing with the queries and doing online research, I am turning to you for input. Looking forward to your replies! I am trying to write this in a general way as I am looking for general ideas on how to do this, not for exact statements. If this question is received poorly, I am happy to rework it, let me know. Here we go:
I have two tables:
Table 1 has 10 MIO records. It has only one column:
Column A: A unique ID (a text e.g. '5uz1g09aksmsd')
Table 2 has 300 MIO records. It has two columns:
Column A: A unique ID (a text e.g. '5uz1g09aksmsd')
Column B: A number (e.g. 32.5432)
There are no indices etc. yet, not even a PK as both tables have just been created via CTAS. Both tables have been analysed.
I am now looking for a fast query (the prep-work e.g. index creation can take time, no problem) to create a third table that contains the 10 MIO rows of Table 1, and Column B of Table 2 if a match is found via Column A (for 99% a match will be found). To make it clearer, a simple CTAS could be:
create table3 as
select t1.a,
(select t2.b from table2 t2 where t2.a = t1.a and rownum = 1)
-- the rownum = 1 is to show Oracle that there can only be one match
from table1 t1;
This is not as fast as it can be (I hope). What are your ideas to make it faster? Creating indices? Which ones? What kind of join would you want to see in the execution plan? A hash join? I already found
create table nologging
parallel query execution and parallel table creation
But I am interested in the specifics of how the perfect execution plan for this would look given that we are allowed to alter the system (e.g. create an index). In particular I am asking for 11gR2 but 12c comments are also very welcome.
Start with the simplest possibility using this query
create table c as
select /*+ parallel(6) */ a.a, b.b
from a
left outer join b
on a.a = b.a
;
It will use a hash join, adjust parallel degree based on your hardware setup.

how to speed up the order by query in oracle

my below pagination query runs faster (2.5 sec) without order by .
if I use order by it get slower (180 sec).
Total number of record is only 90000
select * from(
select i.*,rownum rno from (
select opp.updat,nvl(s.name,c.vemail),s.name,c.vemail
from sfa_opportunities opp,sfa_company s, customer c
where opp.companyid = c.companyid(+)
and opp.custid = c.custid(+)
and opp.companyid = s.companyid(+)
and opp.sfacompid = s.sfacompid(+)
order by 2 asc, 1 asc
)i) where rno >= 1 and rno <= 30
I have given the explain plan below for reference.

You're sorting on nvl(s.name,c.vemail), then opp.updat. My guess is the NVL may prevent a lot of optimization, because Oracle can't tell what the value of that column is going to be without looking at every row in the joined result. You could try adding indexes on those three columns or a function based index on nvl(s.name,c.vemail).

How to optimize oracle query?

Following query is taking around 45 seconds in oracle 11g
select count(cap.ISHIGH),ms.SID,ms.NUM from CDetail cap,MData ms
where cap.MDataID_FK=ms.MDataID_PK and trunc(cap.CREATEDTIME) between trunc(sysdate-10) and trunc(sysdate)
group by ms.SID,ms.NUM ;

table MData contains around 900,000 rows and table CDetail contains 23,000,000 rows.
Should I introduce any new index or any other way to optimize the above query.
Edit 3. IDX_CPCTYDTLTRNCCRTDTM is a functional index on trunc(CREATEDTIME)
Edit :1

Thank you for sharing an explain plan; thats a good start. The thing with an explain plan however is that it gives you estimates, not actuals. If you can, can you get a SQL Monitor report? This will show you the actual cardinality and show you where time is being spent in the query.
The date filter is expecting about 3M rows (ID's 6 an 7)? Is that accurate?
What is the definition of the IDX_CPCTYDTLTRNCCRTDTM index? Does it happen to be function based?
Just to validate my thinking, can you add the following hint, run the query and get the explain plan again.
select /*+ full( cap ) */ ...
