In the same application I continue searching ways to do performance tuning so:
In the view object Tuning, in the frame called Retrieve from the database, I set
Only up to row number =10

I was expecting that only 10 rows would be retrieved from database by a filter like rownum<=10
but when I check the log (and database sql) I see that normal select is send to database:
[1214] SELECT Employees.EMPLOYEE_ID, Employees.DEPARTMENT_ID, Employees.FIRST_NAME, Employees.LAST_NAME, Employees.EMAIL, Employees.PHONE_NUMBER, Employees.HIRE_DATE, Employees.JOB_ID, Employees.SALARY, Employees.COMMISSION_PCT, Employees.MANAGER_ID, Departments.DEPARTMENT_NAME, Departments.DEPARTMENT_ID AS DEPARTMENT_ID1 FROM EMPLOYEES Employees, DEPARTMENTS Departments WHERE Employees.DEPARTMENT_ID = Departments.DEPARTMENT_ID(+)
[1215] Bind params for ViewObject: EmployeesView1
[1216] DBTransactionImpl.mDefaultSparseArrayThreshold is 20
[1217] No Resource Bundle found but null value id:LOVUIHints_NullValueId is defined in an ListBinding Definition.
[1218] DCUtil, returning:oracle.adf.model.binding.DCParameter, for AppModuleDataControl
[1219] Changing iterator range size from :25 to :10
From what I know this select retrieves all rows from database and then somehow ADF shows only 10.
So wouldn't it be better performance for me to just put rownum<=10 in the where clause?
