在ORACLE SQL性能优化中,应当避免使用HAVING子句,因为HAVING只在检索出所有记录后对结果集进行过滤,这会带来额外的排序和总计操作开销。相比之下,通过WHERE子句限制记录数目能有效减少这些开销。例如,原本低效的写法是SELECT REGION,AVG(LOG_SIZE) FROM LOCATION GROUP BY REGION HAVING REGION != ‘SYDNEY’ AND REGION != ‘PERTH’,而高效的方法则是使用WHERE子句:SELECT REGION,AVG(LOG_SIZE) FROM LOCATION WHERE REGION != ‘SYDNEY’ AND REGION != ‘PERTH’ GROUP BY REGION。
