Re: [PERFORM] Cursors performance

All,

Looks like I may have beaten this one to death. May
have to chalk it up to a limitation for now due to
deadlines and revisit it later.

One final clue before I go: if I change my wildcard to
'NEPOOL%' from 'NEPOOL%REAL%' my query completes much
faster. Of course this makes sense since it's much
easier to search a string for a prefix than it is to
do a complex regular expression match. I just didn't
expect it to be orders of magnitude difference.

The table containing the string being searched is only
7500 rows but I am joining it with a table with
2.5 million rows. So maybe there's something I can do
to do the wildcard search on the smaller table first
then do the join.

Ok, thanks again to all who responded. Really
appreciate the tips on logging statements and
duration, etc.

regards,

Bill
