deleting few rows from table is running long.

one of the table column is nested table.


TYPE nt_obj AS OBJECT
(
col_1 VARCHAR2 (255 BYTE),
col_2 VARCHAR2 (255 BYTE),
col_3 DATE,
col_4 DATE,
col_5 VARCHAR2 (255 BYTE),
col_6 VARCHAR2 (255 BYTE),
col_7 VARCHAR2 (255 BYTE),
col_8 VARCHAR2 (255 BYTE),
)


TYPE NT_LIST AS TABLE OF NT_OBJ;


CREATE TABLE t
(
ID NUMBER,
E_LIST NT_LIST,
name VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
CREATED_DATE DATE,
LAST_UPDATED_DATE DATE
)
NESTED TABLE NT_LIST STORE AS NT_LIST_TAB ;

there are 10000 records in table.

DELETE FROM t
where LAST_UPDATED_DATE < TRUNC (SYSDATE) - 7;

it tales 2hrs to delete around 1500 records.

Is there any faster way to do this ?

Thank you

How many rows in nested table?
What is the average number of rows in the nested table for each row in the main table?

Most likely some other process has locks on to be deleted rows or there is on delete trigger. Anyway, it takes 3 seconds on my laptop:

SQL> SET TIMING ON
SQL> INSERT
  2    INTO T
  3    SELECT  LEVEL ID,
  4            (
  5             SELECT CAST(
  6                         COLLECT(
  7                                 NT_OBJ(
  8                                        'COL1',
  9                                        'COL2',
 10                                        SYSDATE,
 11                                        SYSDATE,
 12                                        'COL5',
 13                                        'COL6',
 14                                        'COL7',
 15                                        'COL8'
 16                                       )
 17                                )
 18                        AS NT_LIST
 19                       )
 20               FROM DUAL CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 10
 21            ) E_LIST,
 22            'NAME' || LEVEL,
 23            SYSDATE - LEVEL,
 24            SYSDATE - LEVEL
 25      FROM  DUAL
 26      CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 10000
 27  /

10000 rows created.

Elapsed: 00:00:03.26
SQL> DELETE  T
  2    WHERE LAST_UPDATED_DATE < TRUNC (SYSDATE) - 7
  3  /

9993 rows deleted.

There is average 10 rows in nested table for each row in main table.

Run a trace on the session performing a delete, that'll tell you where the time is being spent.
