>In this particular case I have two tables a subscriber table and a giver table. I only want to select those records which don't have a matching record in the giver table; therefore where subscriber.c_id <> gifts.c_id. Is this the best way to handle this. Also I am trying to optimize the select in which I have created an index for each of where clause with the exception of the subscriber.c_id <> gifts.c_id. However each of the tables do have a index on the c_id. One thing I haven't done however is to create an index on deleted(). I am just wondering if I have provided enough for this to be optimized and execute as fast as possible.

You can use SYS(3054, 11) to check if the view is optimized.
