Hi Everyone,

I have a bteq script in which the DELETE statement is taking around 14 minutes to run.

The statement is

     DELETE EDW1
     FROM employee EDW1,
           deptt   EDW2
     WHERE EDW1.employee_id = EDW2.employee_id
     AND EDW1.deptt_code = EDW2.deptt_code
     AND EDW2.deptt <> 'D'
     ;

The number of records deleted with this statement is around 4325698. I did COLLECT STATISTICS on the UPI columns (employee_id , deptt_code). But this did not help to decrease the time.

Is there any way to optimise the query to minimise this time?

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks in advance!!!
