Query Tuning for a single select statement

[sanonward001]

Hi,
This is regarding the query optimization.

T_A table is having rows around 570000, and this query's cost comes out to 202.


SELECT COUNT(1)
FROM T_A
WHERE LOWER(NAME) = LOWER(V_CIName)
AND TYPE_ID = V_CIType_Id

Is there any other way of writing the query to reduce the cost of this.

I am in fix as the cost of such small queries is going very high.

Looking for your co-operation

Thanks & Regards,

Sanjay

try to create function based index on the desired columns.

does TYPE_ID has an index associated to it? composite or simple?

i agree with bedasisa, function index for "LOWER(V_CIName )" will solve your problem
