ORACLE采用自下而上的顺序解析WHERE子句,根据这个原理,表之间的连接必须写在其他WHERE条件之前, 那些可以过滤掉最大数量记录的条件必须写在WHERE子句的末尾.

例如:
(低效,执行时间156.3秒)

SELECT … 
FROM EMP E
WHERE  SAL > 50000
AND    JOB = ‘MANAGER’
AND    25 < (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM EMP
             WHERE MGR=E.EMPNO);

SELECT … 
FROM EMP E
WHERE 25 < (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM EMP
             WHERE MGR=E.EMPNO)
AND    SAL > 50000
AND    JOB = ‘MANAGER’;
