今天mentor給了一個sql語句優化的任務。（環境是sql developer）有一個語句執行很慢，查詢出來的結果有17544條記錄，但需970秒，速度很慢。語句是這樣的：
SELECT DISTINCT 'AMEND_NEW',
reporttitle,
reportsubtitle,
cab_cab_transactions.branchcode,
cab_cab_transactions.prtfo_cd,

INNER JOIN cab_cab_transactions ON(cab_cab_transactions.branchcode = cab_cab_tran_adjustments.branchcode )
AND(cab_cab_tran_adjustments.sstm_trx_id = cab_cab_transactions.sstm_trx_id)) ON(cab_cfg_trx_type_mapping.cab_trx_type_cd = cab_cab_transactions.trx_type_cd)
AND(nvl(cab_cfg_trx_type_mapping.cab_trx_subtype_cd,' ') = nvl(cab_cab_transactions.trx_subtype_cd,' ')
AND (cab_cfg_trx_type_mapping.branchcode=cab_cab_transactions.branchcode))
WHERE cab_cab_transactions.prtfo_cd IN

AND cab_cab_tran_adjustments.efcte_dttm > '2011-07-31'

問題在distinct上面，它會導致對全表掃描，而且會導致排序，然后刪除重復的記錄，所以速度很慢，因此需要優化distinct。查了不少資料，并逐一嘗試，最后發現了一個非常可觀的優化結果，用group by。語句如下：

最后執行時間只有15.1秒，快了60多倍，不得不說這優化效果還是很可觀的。不過查了很多資料，仍然沒有發現合理地解釋：為什么distinct 和group by的效率會有這么大差別。查的很多資料，講的基本都是兩者相差不大，實現也差不多。有待解決。
