oracle之优化一中用group by优化distinct
今天mentor给了一个sql语句优化的任务。（环境是sql developer）有一个语句执行很慢，查询出来的结果有17544条记录，但需970秒，速度很慢。语句是这样的：
SELECT DISTINCT 'AMEND_NEW',
reporttitle,
reportsubtitle,
cab_cab_transactions.branchcode,
cab_cab_transactions.prtfo_cd,
cab_cab_transactions.sstm_scrty_id,
cab_cab_transactions.sstm_trx_id,

cab_cab_transactions.trde_sstm_id,
cab_cab_transactions.trx_type_cd,
cab_cab_transactions.trx_type_dscrn,
cab_cab_transactions.trx_subtype_cd,
cab_cab_transactions.trde_stat_flg,
cab_cab_transactions.csh_cr_dr_indcr,
cab_cab_transactions.long_shrt_indcr,
cab_cab_transactions.lcl_crncy,
cab_cab_transactions.stlmt_crncy,
cab_cab_transactions.nomin_qty,

FROM cab_cfg_trx_type_mapping RIGHT JOIN(cab_cab_tran_adjustments
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
(SELECT DISTINCT prtfo_cd
FROM cab_cab_valuations_working
WHERE created_by = 'e483448'
AND branchcode='ISA')
AND cab_cab_tran_adjustments.efcte_dttm > '2011-07-31'
AND cab_cab_tran_adjustments.efcte_dttm <= '2011-08-31'
AND eff_trde_stat_flg <> 'X'
AND cab_cab_transactions.branchcode = 'ISA'
AND cab_cab_tran_adjustments.branchcode = 'ISA'
AND(cab_cfg_trx_type_mapping.cab_reportgroup = 'CABValuation' OR cab_cfg_trx_type_mapping.cab_reportgroup IS NULL)
问题在distinct上面，它会导致对全表扫描，而且会导致排序，然后删除重复的记录，所以速度很慢，因此需要优化distinct。查了不少资料，并逐一尝试，最后发现了一个非常可观的优化结果，用group by。语句如下：
SELECT 'AMEND_NEW',

cab_cab_transactions.trde_sstm_id,

最后执行时间只有15.1秒，快了60多倍，不得不说这优化效果还是很可观的。不过查了很多资料，仍然没有发现合理地解释：为什么distinct 和group by的效率会有这么大差别。查的很多资料，讲的基本都是两者相差不大，实现也差不多。有待解决。
ps：这个两个sql很复杂，仅看头尾即可。
