Optimization Analysis

  1. As shown in Figure 1, the sequential scan phase is time consuming.
  2. The JOIN performance is poor because a large number of null values exist in the JOIN column BSCRNC_ID of the PS.SDR_WEB_BSCRNC_1DAY table.

    Therefore, you are advised to manually add NOT NULL for JOIN columns in the statement, as shown below:
