What if you want to collect timing statistics for multiple group of statements? TIMING command becomes handy in such situation—one of things that I knew and have forgotten over time.

I performed a code comparison and observed a difference in the order of a table in FROM clause. After looking through, I found a bug entry on MOS <a href='http://perumal.org/sql-returns-wrong-result-when-the-table-order-is-swapped/' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The advantages of using bitmap indexes are greatest for low cardinality columns: that is, columns in which the number of distinct values is small compared to the number of rows in the table. If the number of distinct values of a column is less than 1% of the number of rows in the table, or if the values in a column are repeated more than 100 times, then the column is a candidate for a bitmap index. Even columns with a lower number of repetitions and thus higher cardinality can be candidates if they tend to be involved in complex conditions in the WHERE clauses of queries.]]></description>
