This is my Query and the Execution plan and it is taking more time on sort. why so .. and is there anyway to avoid.version is
10g.
INSERT INTO Names_stg

You can remove the two DISTINCT statements in the Selects.
The MINUS will perform an implicit DISTICT, so there's no point performing two extra ones.

Thanks for the reply. I have already tried without distinct and i dont see any improvement in response time. we are using this query to insert miilions of records and it takes hours to complete. Any ideas ?

Well, if you're trying to do a DISTINCT on all the columns of a table for millions of rows, then it's going to use a lot of memory and take quite a long time.
I'd recommend massively increasing the SORT_AREA_SIZE for this session.

There's two problems with MINUS:
- It performs the equivalent of a SORT-MERGE join. This was great pre-7.3 when Sort-Merge was the fastest (stable) join type for large datasets, but is totally overshadowed these days by HASH join.
- It compares the contents of EVERY column. Sometimes that's what you want, but sometimes you really just want the key. Since it performs a SORT, each row in the sort takes up a lot of temp space. When TEMP runs out (as it will do rather quickly with every column in there) it starts swapping to disk. Now that's REALLY slow.
So how do you get one of these newfangled HASH joins? Use a NOT EXISTS or NOT IN sub-query.
"But I read somewhere that NOT EXISTS and NOT IN are bad. How about them apples?", you say. That was true - once again - pre 7.3 - when NOT EXISTS and NOT IN sub-queries always resolved with the equivalent of a NESTED LOOPS join. The introduction of Hash-Anti-Joins has made them really efficient. The myth of MINUS as an efficient operation still persists, and will probably continue to do so until all of the over-35 DBAs are pensioned off.
So rewrite your SQL as a NOT EXISTS or NOT IN, run it through Explain Plan and make sure you see a HASH ANTI step (watch out for NESTED LOOPS ANTI and FILTER; you don't want them!), and then run it. Over large row sets, you should find it orders of magnitude faster.
Oh yeah, and never, ever, ever write a MINUS, INTERSECT, or UNION query again.

How to enable hash join. my version is 10.2.0.1.0. I tried with hash_aj hint
but still same execution plan and no improvement in response time even with not exists.
No PK in both tables and both allows null values for all the columns.
