Использование константы в аналитическом ORDER BY в качестве @Will A представляется наиболее быстрым методом.Оптимизатор все еще выполняет сортировку, но это быстрее, чем сортировка столбца.Кроме того, вы, вероятно, хотите удалить второй ORDER BY или хотя бы переместить его во внешний запрос.
Ниже приведен мой тестовый пример:
--Create table, index, and dummy data.
create table lro_search_point(search_point_type number, lro_pid number, column1 number
,column2 number, column3 number);
create index lro_search_point_idx on lro_search_point(lro_pid);
insert /*+ append */ into lro_search_point
select mod(level, 10), level, level, level, level from dual connect by level <= 100000;
commit;
--Original version. Averages 0.53 seconds.
SELECT * FROM
(
SELECT a.*, Row_Number() over (PARTITION BY search_point_type ORDER BY lro_pid) spt_rank
FROM lro_search_point a
ORDER BY spt_rank
)
WHERE spt_rank=1;
--Sort by constant. Averages 0.33 seconds.
--This query and the one above have the same explain plan, basically it's
--SELECT/VIEW/SORT ORDER BY/WINDOW SORT PUSHED RANK/TABLE ACCESS FULL.
SELECT * FROM
(
SELECT a.*, Row_Number() over (PARTITION BY search_point_type ORDER BY -1) spt_rank
FROM lro_search_point a
ORDER BY spt_rank
)
WHERE spt_rank=1;
--Remove the ORDER BY (or at least move it to the outer query). Averages 0.27 seconds.
SELECT * FROM
(
SELECT a.*, Row_Number() over (PARTITION BY search_point_type ORDER BY -1) spt_rank
FROM lro_search_point a
)
WHERE spt_rank=1;
--Replace analytic with aggregate functions, averages 0.28 seconds.
--This idea is the whole reason I did this, but turns out it's no faster. *sigh*
--Plan is SELECT/SORT GROUP BY/TABLE ACCESS FULL.
--Note I'm using KEEP instead of just regular MIN.
--I assume that you want the values from the same row.
SELECT a.search_point_type
,min(lro_pid) keep (dense_rank first order by -1)
,min(column1) keep (dense_rank first order by -1)
,min(column2) keep (dense_rank first order by -1)
,min(column3) keep (dense_rank first order by -1)
FROM lro_search_point a
group by a.search_point_type;
