I have a table named customer which has 10k rows in both oracle 9i and 11G.

The below query when I run in 9i, it executes in much lesser time as compared to 11g.

select * from customer this_ where this_.first_name like '%WORLDFORME' and this_.last_name like '%RAJ'

Time taken in oracle 9i : 2.071 sec
Time taken in oracle 11G : 52.915 sec

can anyone tell me why that much difference in execution time ?
what are the possible causes for this difference ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

You need to help us by following the Posting Guidelines as stated below.
http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/88153/0/
Go to the URL above click the link "Posting Guidelines"
Go to the section labeled "Practice" & do as directed.

post EXPLAIN PLAN from both systems

do the following on both system so we can compare & contrast

ALTER SESSION SET SQL_TRACE=TRUE;
-- invoke the problem SQL here
ALTER SESSION SET SQL_TRACE=FALSE;

now find the trace file within ./udump folder
tkprof <trace_file.trc> trace_results.txt explain=<username>/<password>

post the contents of trace_results.txt back here

There is a difference. It is your job to find the difference.

Then provide the required and usual information.
