Big Table and Small Table Join strategy in Oracle(三)
the OP’s question is not as simple as “theSmaller Table is the Driving Table” or ”the Larger Table is the DrivingTable”, but that there are other factors involved. I think that it mightbe time for a third read through of the book “Cost-Based OracleFundamentals”. In the mean time, anyone care to share more insight (yeswe could look inside a 10053 trace file, but there must be at least one othertip that can be provided without referencing such a trace file).
