JDev/ADF sample - How To Disable SELECT COUNT Execution for ADF Table Rendering

  • How To Disable SELECT COUNT Execution for ADF Table Rendering. If you analyze SQL execution, you will see there is difference between ADF form and ADF table rendering. When rendering ADF form - there is one SQL statement executed, to retrieve data. Things are a bit different for ADF table - framework executes two SQL statements while rendering ADF table. First it executes SELECT COUNT to retrieve number of rows to be returned and only after that it executes actual SQL statement to bring data. ADF needs to know estimated row count, in order to render table scrollbar properly. Perhaps this part can be optimized by ADF team, they could count retrieved rows based on fact (based on SQL to retrieve rows), without executing initial SELECT COUNT. However, if you want to optimize ADF table rendering and disable initial SELECT COUNT execution - there is a way, I will describe it now (thanks to my Red Samurai colleague - Florin Marcus, who figure it out).
