Update 1/31/2011
I think I'm running against a DB limit. The GROUP BY expression
and all nondistinct aggregate functions may have exceeded a single
database block.

Original post:
This is on Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Prod.
The following insert does not return the true MAX() values
if I have two records where the matchKey is the same, one
with a contributionP NULL value and another with a non-NULL value.
Sometimes, the value returned by MAX() is the NULL value.

FROM meCostingXPrePrePre
GROUP BY matchKey;
If I build an index as follows and give a CBO hint
CREATE INDEX C$MECOSTINGXPREPREPRE$MULTI0 ON MECOSTINGXPREPREPRE
(MATCHKEY, CONTRIBUTIONP, STIMULUSCONTRIBUTIONP, CONTRIBUTIONC, AGEMULTIPLIER,
RATETABLEIDP, RATETABLEIDC, ACCOUNTNBRP, ACCOUNTNBRC, COMMISSIONEXPENSEACCOUNT,

...)
SELECT /*+ INDEX(meCostingXPrePrePre c$mecostingxpreprepre$multi0) */
...
FROM meCostingXPrePrePre
GROUP BY matchKey;
This gets MAX() to behave correctly.
I need to add 15 extra columns and change the index
Small problem
CREATE INDEX C$MECOSTINGXPREPREPRE$MULTI0 ON MECOSTINGXPREPREPRE
(MATCHKEY, CONTRIBUTIONP, STIMULUSCONTRIBUTIONP, CONTRIBUTIONC, AGEMULTIPLIER,
RATETABLEIDP, RATETABLEIDC, ACCOUNTNBRP, ACCOUNTNBRC, COMMISSIONEXPENSEACCOUNT,

NOLOGGING
TABLESPACE INDX
NOPARALLEL;
gives
ORA-01793: maximum number of index columns is 32
First MAX() does not work with large column sets and second, the index+CBO patch
leads to index limitation.
Any suggestions?
