I use a rather complicated query to retrieve some data from one of our billing databases.
I ran into a problem where the query seems to run pretty fast when executed using SQL Developer, but seems to never end when using the method OracleDataAdapter.Fill().
I am only trying to read about 1000 lines, and the query completes in SQL Developer after about 20 seconds.
What can cause such dramatic differences in performance? I have many other queries that run quickly using the same function.
Here is the code I use to execute the request:
using Oracle.DataAccess.Client;
...
public DataTable ExecuteExternalQuery(string connectionString, string providerName, string queryText)
{
DbConnection connection = null;
DbCommand selectCommand = null;
DbDataAdapter adapter = null;
switch (providerName)
{
case "System.Data.OracleClient":
case "Oracle.DataAccess.Client":
connection = new OracleConnection(connectionString);
selectCommand = connection.CreateCommand();
adapter = new OracleDataAdapter((OracleCommand)selectCommand);
break;
...
}
DataTable table = null;
try
{
connection.Open();
selectCommand.CommandText = queryText;
selectCommand.CommandTimeout = 300000;
selectCommand.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
table = new DataTable("result");
table.Locale = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture;
adapter.Fill(table);
}
finally
{
adapter.Dispose();
if (connection.State != ConnectionState.Closed)
{
connection.Close();
}
}
return table;
}
And here is the general SQL schema that I use:
with
trouble_calls as
(
select
work_order_number,
account_number,
date_entered
from
work_orders
where
date_entered >= sysdate - (15 + 31)
and
wo_status not in ('Cancelled')
and
wo_type = 'Trouble Call'
)
select
account_number,
work_order_number,
date_entered
from
trouble_calls wo
where
wo.icoms_date >= sysdate - 15
and
(
select
count(*)
from
trouble_calls repeat
where
wo.account_number = repeat.account_number
and
wo.work_order_number <> repeat.work_order_number
and
wo.date_entered - repeat.date_entered between 0 and 30
) >= 1
