Default Using a Select as a Var??

Hi All
Need top repeat a select 3 times but with differents where condition.
I tried to repeat the selects and after use a couple of union to join
then, but it takes toooo long.

I also remember there was a way such as:

using var (select stamment)
select *
from var
where .....

but i can not remember the exact syntaxes.

Does anybody know?.

Thanks.

'syntaxes' are looked up in the SQL reference manual, NOT by posting
here!!
and it is the WITH statement

Instead of UNION you could use OR in your WHERE clause.

Select * from sometable where name = 'JOHN'
union
Select * from sometable where salary > 500
union
Select * from sometable where state <> 'NY';

Select * from sometable where name = 'JOHN' OR salary > 500 OR state
<> 'NY';

If your queries take too long, try and index the tables. The index
fields must match your WHERE fields.

Very inefficient compared with WITH.

You said previously, you got it working using UNIONs, only it was "too
slow".

If you do something like this

select (something) from (somewhere) where (one condition)
union
select (something) from (somewhere) where (another condition)
union
select (something) from (somewhere) where (third condition);

Oracle will do (worst case) three full table scans (if there are no
relevant indexes).

Instead if you do

select (something) from (somewhere)
where (one condition) or (another condition) or (third condition);

Oracle will do one single full table scan (at least that's what my
explain_plan shows on Oracle 9.2.0.4.0 either with optimizer_mode=rule
or =choose)

If "somewhere" is more than one table, don't repeat the join
conditions on the WHERE clause.

I don't know how WITH would be more efficient in this case, I've tried
modifying the query to use WITH but got no better explain plan.

Greetings

given that you didn't post your SQL there's not much anyone can say
other than 9.2.0.4? Applying a patch and getting closer to a supported
product might make a difference.

Surely UNION changes the logic in the case where duplicates could be
returned, as well as adding a DISTINCT sort/hash operation that may be
unnecessary.

The idea of the WITH clause (subquery factoring) is for the case where
the "(somewhere)" in your query is something more complicated than a
single table, in which case you effectively declare it at the top and
reuse it multiple times.
