Summary

NOTE: In the images and/or the document content below, the user information and data used represents fictitious data from the Oracle sample schema(s) or Public Documentation delivered with an Oracle database product. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental and not intended in any manner.

If similar subqueries appear more than once in a sql, it is worth trying to rewrite the query using WITH subquery.
There are some things we should consider in order to get the benefit from it.

Solution

Subquery Factoring

Subquery Factoring or WITH clause enables you to assign a name to a subquery block that can then be referenced in multiple places in the query.
This subquery will be transformed as either a temporary table (materialization) or an inline view

Things to Consider when Deciding to Use Subquery Factoring

  • Subquery Factoring can simplify the query statement making the format of the query clearer and more readable.
  • As it eliminates the repeated scan of the same table, it may reduce physical I/O and logical reads.
    This is more noticeable when retrieving a large amount of data.
  • It causes some recursive calls and "db block gets"(reads in current mode), and generates some redo data because it creates a temporary table during execution.
  • It runs faster only if the total I/O is less than the plan that does not use materialization

Examples of Subquery Factoring

Example 1
SELECT ...
FROM A, B, C
WHERE ...
AND A.a in (select col from T1, T2, T3 where ...)
AND B.b in (select col from T1, T2, T3 where ...)
AND C.c in (select col from T1, T2, T3 where ...);

can be written as:
WITH S AS (select col from T1, T2, T3 where ...)
SELECT ...
FROM A, B, C
WHERE ...
AND A.a in (select col from S)
AND B.b in (select col from S)
AND C.c in (select col from S);

Example 2
SELECT ...
FROM (select ... from T1 ...) S1,
(select ... from T2 ...) S2,
(select ... from T3 ...) S3
WHERE ... ;

can be written as:
WITH S1 AS (select ... from T1 ...),
S2 AS (select ... from T2 ...),
S3 AS (select ... from T3 ...)
SELECT ...
FROM S1, S2, S3
WHERE ... ;

Influencing the Plan with Hints and Parameters

The decision whether to transfer the subquery into an inline view or a temporary table is done before the optimization and is determined by certain rules. However the decision can be influenced by including a hint in the WITH clause or by setting the parameter "_with_subquery".

Hints

  • /*+ MATERIALIZE */ : The subquery is materialized into a temporary table
    WITH S AS (select /*+ MATERIALIZE */ col from T1, T2, T3 where ...)
    SELECT ...
    FROM A, B, C
    WHERE ...
    AND A.a in (select col from S)
    AND B.b in (select col from S)
    AND C.c in (select col from S);

  • /*+ INLINE */ : The subquery is inlined and not materialized
    WITH S AS (select /*+ INLINE */ col from T1, T2, T3 where ...)
    SELECT ...
    FROM A, B, C
    WHERE ...
    AND A.a in (select col from S)
    AND B.b in (select col from S)
    AND C.c in (select col from S);

Optimizer Parameter

The parameter "_WITH_SUBQUERY" can have the following values:

  • optimizer : Let the optimizer choose (default)
  • materialize: Always materialize the WITH subquery
  • inline : Always inline.

The parameter can be set in pfile/spfile, at system level or at session level.

Demonstration

This test was done in SH demo schema.

Create 2 tables PRODUCTS2 and PRODUCTS3
connect sh/sh

create table products2 as select * from products;
create table products3 as select * from products;

Oracle® Database SQL Language Reference

Restriction

Distributed transactions are not supported for temporary tables.
Query having WITH clause will be transformed as either a temporary table (materialization) or an inline view.

Note: The following fixes should be applied if query would be transformed as a temporary table (materialization):

<Document 9399589.8> "WITH" subqueries cannot be materialized inside a global transaction
9706532.8 "WITH" subqueries cannot be materialized inside a global transaction (or PLSQL RPC over DBlink)

如果使用变量，Oracle不知道with as 返回结果，可以使用

SELECT /*+ cardinality(mem,200000) */ 明确告知Oracle返回多少行，
