You are using a different optimization goals.

*FISTIO means optimize so the first block of data is returned as fast as
possible, i.e. if the query optimizer has to decide between a sub-optimal
index and a table scan it may use an index access.
*ALLIO means optimize so the complete SQL statement is executed as fast as
possible, i.e. if the query optimizer has to decide between a sub-optimal
index and a table scan it may use the table scan.

The optimization goal can be affected by adding a OPTIMIZE FOR X ROWS clause
to the SELECT-Statement.
When replacing the X with a small integer, the optimization goal *FIRSTIO is
used.
When replacing the x with a large integer or ALL the optimization goal
*ALLIO is used.

Subject: RE: Unexpected SQL performance behavior

Using the visual explain, I compared the result when doing the INSERT with
only doing the SELECT.

Attribute Select only With insert
Optimization goal *FIRSTIO *ALLIO
Interactive Process NO NO
Positionning option Next only Next only
Optimize for N rows 30 All lines
Fetch first N rows All rows All rows

I dont know why some values are different.

As for the "optimize for 60 rows" where should I add it (at the end of the
SQL statement?

Thanks

What does Visual Explain show?

In particular
Under INI Options
Optimization goal *FIRSTIO
Under Environment Information
Interactive Process No
Positioning Options Any
Optimize for N Rows 30
Fetch First N Rows All Rows
Adding
optimize for 60 rows
to the select may help

May help...

Hello all,

I am currently working on a complex (for me) SQL script. When I run it
to display the result on the screen, it works fine. When I change it
to put the result of the SELECT in a file (by inserting the
appropriate INSERT INTO... before the SELECT), it takes more that 10 times
longer to execute!!

I am working with a small subset of data and the resulting data set is
just 51 rows.

Any help on understanding this behavior and on how to avoid it is very
appreciated.
