1. 通过内部函数提高SQL效率.
   SELECT H.EMPNO,E.ENAME,H.HIST_TYPE,T.TYPE_DESC,COUNT(*)

FROM HISTORY_TYPE T,EMP E,EMP_HISTORY H
WHERE H.EMPNO = E.EMPNO
AND H.HIST_TYPE = T.HIST_TYPE
GROUP BY H.EMPNO,E.ENAME,H.HIST_TYPE,T.TYPE_DESC;
通过调用下面的函数可以提高效率.
FUNCTION LOOKUP_HIST_TYPE(TYP IN NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR2 AS
TDESC VARCHAR2(30);
CURSOR C1 IS
SELECT TYPE_DESC
FROM HISTORY_TYPE
WHERE HIST_TYPE = TYP;
BEGIN
OPEN C1;
FETCH C1 INTO TDESC;
CLOSE C1;
RETURN (NVL(TDESC,'?'));
END;
FUNCTION LOOKUP_EMP(EMP IN NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR2
AS
ENAME VARCHAR2(30);
CURSOR C1 IS
SELECT ENAME
FROM EMP
WHERE EMPNO=EMP;
BEGIN
OPEN C1;
FETCH C1 INTO ENAME;
CLOSE C1;
RETURN (NVL(ENAME,'?'));
END;
SELECT H.EMPNO,LOOKUP_EMP(H.EMPNO),
H.HIST_TYPE,LOOKUP_HIST_TYPE(H.HIST_TYPE),COUNT(*)
FROM EMP_HISTORY H
GROUP BY H.EMPNO , H.HIST_TYPE;
