不,除了使用连接到第二个表之外,没有其他方法。当然,可以在select子句中编写标量子查询,也可以编写自己的函数,但这样做效率很低。
编辑:
在选择列表中使用标量子查询时,您可能希望强制执行一个嵌套的类似于循环的计划,其中标量子查询针对states\u表的每一行执行。至少我预料到了:-)。
然而,Oracle已经实现了标量子查询缓存,这带来了一个非常好的优化。它只执行子查询3次。有一篇关于标量子查询的优秀文章,在这篇文章中,您可以看到更多的因素在优化行为中发挥作用:

这是我自己的测试,看看这个工作。为了模拟您的表,我使用了以下脚本:
create table states_table (id,state,filler)
as
select level
, floor(dbms_random.value(0,3))
, lpad('*',1000,'*')
from dual
connect by level <= 100000
/
alter table states_table add primary key (id)
/
create table lookup_table (state_num,state_desc)
as
select 0, 'initial' from dual union all
select 1, 'current' from dual union all
select 2, 'final' from dual
/
alter table lookup_table add primary key (state_num)
/
alter table states_table add foreign key (state) references lookup_table(state_num)
/
exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(user,'states_table',cascade=>true)
exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(user,'lookup_table',cascade=>true)
然后执行查询并查看真正的执行计划:
SQL> select /*+ gather_plan_statistics */
2 s.id
3 , s.state
4 , l.state_desc
5 from states_table s
6 join lookup_table l on s.state = l.state_num
7 /
ID STATE STATE_D
---------- ---------- -------
1 2 final
...
100000 0 initial
100000 rows selected.
SQL> select * from table(dbms_xplan.display_cursor(null,null,'allstats last'))
2 /
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SQL_ID f6p6ku8g8k95w, child number 0
-------------------------------------
select /*+ gather_plan_statistics */ s.id , s.state , l.state_desc from states_table s join
lookup_table l on s.state = l.state_num
Plan hash value: 1348290364
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Id | Operation | Name | Starts | E-Rows | A-Rows | A-Time | Buffers | Reads | OMem | 1Mem | Used-Mem |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|* 1 | HASH JOIN | | 1 | 99614 | 100K|00:00:00.50 | 20015 | 7478 | 1179K| 1179K| 578K (0)|
| 2 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| LOOKUP_TABLE | 1 | 3 | 3 |00:00:00.01 | 3 | 0 | | | |
| 3 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| STATES_TABLE | 1 | 99614 | 100K|00:00:00.30 | 20012 | 7478 | | | |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
---------------------------------------------------
1 - access("S"."STATE"="L"."STATE_NUM")
20 rows selected.
现在对标量子查询变量执行相同的操作:
SQL> select /*+ gather_plan_statistics */
2 s.id
3 , s.state
4 , ( select l.state_desc
5 from lookup_table l
6 where l.state_num = s.state
7 )
8 from states_table s
9 /
ID STATE (SELECT
---------- ---------- -------
1 2 final
...
100000 0 initial
100000 rows selected.
SQL> select * from table(dbms_xplan.display_cursor(null,null,'allstats last'))
2 /
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SQL_ID 22y3dxukrqysh, child number 0
-------------------------------------
select /*+ gather_plan_statistics */ s.id , s.state , ( select l.state_desc
from lookup_table l where l.state_num = s.state ) from states_table s
Plan hash value: 2600781440
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Id | Operation | Name | Starts | E-Rows | A-Rows | A-Time | Buffers | Reads |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 1 | TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID| LOOKUP_TABLE | 3 | 1 | 3 |00:00:00.01 | 5 | 0 |
|* 2 | INDEX UNIQUE SCAN | SYS_C0040786 | 3 | 1 | 3 |00:00:00.01 | 2 | 0 |
| 3 | TABLE ACCESS FULL | STATES_TABLE | 1 | 99614 | 100K|00:00:00.30 | 20012 | 9367 |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
---------------------------------------------------
2 - access("L"."STATE_NUM"=:B1)
20 rows selected.
再看看第1步和第2步的“开始”一栏:只有3个!
在您的情况下,这种优化是否总是一件好事,取决于许多因素。你可以参考前面提到的文章来看看一些效果。
