Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

Select count(*) taking too long

Oct 29, 2014 9:35PM edited Nov 5, 2014 9:00AM in SQL Performance (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered

Hi,

A Select count(*) is taking 1 minute with 23 seconds.

The amount of rows is 48,344,497

The table is heavily used with insertions.

I told my user that this time is normal because the count needs exclusive access but I am not sure.

What do you think?

Is there a way to make this query faster?

Thanks for your comments
