Simplicity

“ Make everything as simple as possible but no simpler. ”

Albert Einstein

“ Normally, we do not so much look at things as overlook them.”

Alan Watts

simple vs simple-minded

Oracle 9.2.0.6 SELECT to_char( to_date(:B1,‘DD-MON-YYYY’)+1, ‘DD-MON-YYYY’ ) FROM dual;

What about its effect?

32.9% % of total R

1,087,770 # of executions

3,263,033 # of LIOs

v_date_str := to_char( to_date( :B1,‘DD-MON-YYYY’ ) + 1, ‘ DD-MON-YYYY’ ) ;

Keys to Optimizing SQL

Tune the question, not the query.

What output should the query provide?

What special conditions need to be handled?

“ If you don’t know where you are going, you’ll end up somewhere else.”

Yogi Berra

Reduce. Reuse.

Decrease row source sizes quickly

Access objects once and reuse the result set

“ Not enough gets said about the importance of abandoning crap.” - Ira Glass

Practice.

Never stop learning

Stay connected

Think in sets

Test Test Test (then test again)

“ Practice, practice, practice. Until it becomes your practice.”

Simplicity is powerful…

… but it is neither simple nor easy to achieve.

It is obtained through the careful reduction of the nonessential.

While simplicity is the goal…

… it is possible to be “too simple.”

Your job is to find the balance most appropriate to your situation.

Thank You
