Hello
I have a little difficulty to understand an explain plan for the following query
select /*+ index(mvt,FK_T_MOUVEMENTSTOCK11) */
mvt.*
from
samse.t_redressement tredress,samse.t_mouvementstock mvt
where
mvt.id_redressement=tredress.id_redressement and
tredress.datedernieremodification >= TO_DATE ('01/03/08', 'DD/MM/YY')
AND tredress.datedernieremodification <
(TO_DATE ('31/03/08', 'DD/MM/YY') + 1);

I join you the 10053 trace
I don t understand the cardinality 18 in the index scan.
If i make a select count(*) from t_mouvementstock where id_redressement=:b1 the optimizer estimates the ca
rdinality to 1 (almost 1 000 000 distinct values of id_redressement on 1 000 000 lines on t_mouvementstock where id_redressement is not null) . So why shows me
the 18 cardinality in the explain plan ?
Thanks for your help (excuse for my bad english)

Because the index scan will be performed 18 times as part of a loop?

Obviously you haven't provided us with much to go on...

I think i have difficulty to read this explain plan as i dont understand this 18. First it reads t_redresseemnt. Then for each row it reads FK_T_MOUVEMENTSTOCK11 to find the row with the same id_redressement. For me, the 18 should correspond to the estimated cardinality of almost "select count(*) from t_mouvementstock where id_redressement is not null and id_redressement=onevalueofidredressement so almost 1. That the optimizer makes with the 5- of Predicate Information
Miss i something ?

How up to date are your statistics and how do you gather them?

Thanks for your replies

Statistics are done every day with dbms_stats.gather_table_stats
No histograms are done on id_redressement of t_mouvementstock

Smartin, when you say "Because the index scan will be performed 18 times as part of a loop" it means that it is the total number of index range scan estimated for all the query ?
Thanks
