今天遇到一个有意思的案例，一开发同事告诉我他删除一个表的记录非常慢，已经快1个多小时了还没有完成。而且删除的记录只有1百多条。真是大跌眼镜的一件 事情。最后发现该表与多个表有外键关联关系（这个表即是主表、又是从表），最后我禁用引用该表的外键约束后。一秒内删除了记录。然后启用外键约束关系。下 面记录、分析一下解决过程的思路（下面是在测试环境的记录，数据量不一样）。
我 去处理这个问题时，首先怀疑可能是SQL的阻塞、触发器、外键约束、高水位线等因素中的某一个导致DELETE操作慢，于是我打算一个一个排除，我先试着 删除一条记录，然后去检查SQL的阻塞情况，结果使用下面SQL语句并没有发现SQL被阻塞。于是SQL的阻塞导致DELETE慢的原因被我排除了。

AND B.SID = B_S.SID
AND B.INST_ID = B_S.INST_ID
AND B_S.ROW_WAIT_OBJ# = OBJ.OBJECT_ID(+)
ORDER BY A.INST_ID,A.SID;
接下来，我检查了该表的的触发器，结果并没有发现DELETE触发器。也就是说DELETE操作并不会触发任何触发器。触发器导致DELETE慢的怀疑也可以排除掉了。
SELECT * FROM DBA_TRIGGERS WHERE TABLE_NAME='INV_LOCATION_PALLETS'
我用show_space检查了一下这个表的高水位线，发现并没有问题，不需要收缩高水位线。高水位线这个因素也可以排除了。只剩下外键约束的影响了。于是检查了一下有哪些表是该表的从表，如下所示
SELECT /*+RULE*/ D.CONSTRAINT_NAME PK_NAME,
D.TABLE_NAME
|| '.'
|| D.COLUMN_NAME PK_COLUMN,
A.CONSTRAINT_TYPE,
B.CONSTRAINT_NAME FK_NAME,
B.TABLE_NAME
|| '.'
|| B.COLUMN_NAME FK_COLUMN
FROM DBA_CONSTRAINTS A
JOIN DBA_CONS_COLUMNS B
ON A.CONSTRAINT_NAME = B.CONSTRAINT_NAME
AND A.OWNER = B.OWNER
JOIN DBA_CONSTRAINTS C
ON A.R_CONSTRAINT_NAME = C.CONSTRAINT_NAME
AND A.R_OWNER = C.OWNER
JOIN DBA_CONS_COLUMNS D
ON C.CONSTRAINT_NAME = D.CONSTRAINT_NAME
AND C.OWNER = D.OWNER
WHERE D.TABLE_NAME = 'INV_LOCATION_PALLETS'
有时候也可以用下面语句查看引用这个表的外键引用关系
SELECT * FROM DBA_CONSTRAINTS WHERE R_CONSTRAINT_NAME='PK_INV_LOCATION_PALLETS'
如上所示，INV_LOCATION_PALLETS这个表有三个从表，而这里面有个表的记录很大，大概2千多万。所以导致DELETE操作很慢。
我们可以用跟踪当前会话，查看一下DELETE操作，就会发现它会去处理从表，检查从表有没有对应的记录，而这个外键刚好也没有索引（下面是使用tkprof命令格式化的内容）。在这篇Delete the data on the table very slow(删除数据慢)博客里面跟深入的介绍、分析了删除表删除数据慢的原因。在此不做过多赘述了。
