Mam więc zapytanie, które wymaga kilku instrukcji CASE w SELECT. To nie był oryginalny projekt, ale część kompromisu.

Tak więc zapytanie wygląda mniej więcej tak:

SELECT
  CONT.TABLE.FINC_ACCT_NM,
  CONT.TABLE.FINC_ACCT_ID,
  CONT.TABLE.CURR_END_OF_PERD_ACTL_VAL,
  CONT.TABLE.PREV_END_OF_PERD_ACTL_VAL,
  CONT.TABLE.VARNC_PLAN_VAL,
  CONT.TABLE.OUTLOOK_BDGT_PLAN_VAL,
  CONT.TABLE.PERD_END_RPT_DT,
  CONT.TABLE.PLAN_VERS_NM,
  CONT.TABLE.FRMT_ACTL_CD,
  CONT.TABLE.FRMT_PLAN_CD,
  CONT.TABLE.RPT_PERD_TYPE_CD,
  CASE 
                WHEN ( CONT.TABLE.FINC_ACCT_ID )=           'XXXX'        and ( CONT.TABLE.BAL_TYPE_CD ) =             'EOP'      then      '  Net Interest Income'

Moje pytanie brzmi, jaki wpływ na wydajność miałyby zmiany wszystkich instrukcji CASE na bezpośrednie odniesienia do kolumn.

Innymi słowy: Gdybym zmienił każdą instrukcję CASE na nazwę kolumny i usunął wszystkie zapytania CASE z zapytania, czy miałoby to duży wpływ na wydajność i dlaczego?

Testuję to, więc mogę dowiedzieć się, czy wpływa to na wydajność, ale interesują mnie szczegóły DLACZEGO? (Szczegóły techniczne dlaczego)

Dzięki za pomoc!
