Cause
This is Bug 9707317.
Posting Performance issue caused by Rule Hint being hard coded in the glsasi.lpc file.
The program uses the “/*+ rule */” hint, but it should be using “/*+ CHOOSE */” or none, which is shown in the tkprof’d trace file explain plan.
Also the wrong index is being used, it is using GL_ACCOUNT_HIERARCHIES_01 when it should be using the GL.GL_ACCOUNT_HIERARCHIES_U2 index.
