Hi,

We have a badly performing query (sometimes), picking a bad plan index for a query with high cardinality variable value.
I tried tuning advisor but it simply advises a restructure with the advice in the title.

However we reckon the issue is not in that part of the query for example

WHERE variable = <value> # issue is here
and DECODE (blah, blah) = DECODE (blah, blah) # tuning advisor is fixated on this

has anyone come across this issue?

Thanks

Welcome to the forum.
Please read the OraFAQ Forum Guide and How to use [code] tags and make your code easier to read.

You need to show the query and the index structure before anyone can advise. All I can say at the moment is that wrapping columns in functions (which seems to be what you are doing) will usually make indexed access paths impossible, which is more-or-less what the advisor is telling you.
