Now, I have to modify a SQL in proc, the only revision is to add a column in select clause with nvl and to_char function, no modification in the where clause.
My question is that, is this modification can cause any performance issue?
The SQL demo is like below:
original SQL:
Select a.c1, b.c2 from a, b where a.c3=b.c4
After modify:
Select a.c1, b.c2, nvl(to_char(b.c5,'FM00000000'), '. ') As c5 from a, b where a.c3=b.c4
Thanks
This change is unlikely to cause noticable performance degradation.
The most costly part of the oracle query will be the selection of data as specified by your join and where clause. You are not changing that. Your number of rows returned will be the same. There will be a very slight cost per row returned caused by the two function calls and the slightly more data returned per row, but this is probably negligable compared to row selection.
