Hi, List

I have friend the running into this strange problem with his database server
( EMC, Raid 5, 4CPU, 2 G Memory, Oracle 7.3.4).
The simple update statement update long column option_setting with
approximate 17K data (see below) take 42 seconds.
The more data it update, the slow it get. What can he do to improve the
performance.

update user_profile set option_setting = :1
where
user_id ='JL' and ui_object ='uo_1::dw_2::dw_case_t_list' and
ui_application ='TEST*PLAN' and ui_option_name ='columns'


call count cpu elapsed disk query current
rows
