Python Reproducer Script

Description of problem:

The main problem is that a when calling the method
system.config.listFiles() it is taking too long to finish. During our
troubleshooting, we had to increase the ProxyTimeout on mod_ajp to 1800
seconds. Afterwards we didn't hit the error 503 and the configuration
files were displayed (after +- 8 minutes).

We imported the customer database internally and were able to
reproduce the same issue shown at the customer environment. Even
updating the database schema and the indexes the behavior were kept the
same.
   
    We wrote a Python script in order to reproducer the issue (see
list.py attached on this mail). Below we can see query spent 7min and 54
seconds to render.

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. connect on the reproducer <snip>
2. execute the query manually or execute the list.py reproducer script

  
Actual results:

 SQL query is taking too long


Expected results:

 SQL query runs within a reasonable time 

Additional info:
Going further, we were able to reproduce the same behavior running the
SQL manually directly on SQLPLUS (ModeFactory.getMode("config_queries",
"file_names_for_system"));

  The results were displayed after 8 minutes and 16 seconds (after
updated the DB indexes using db-control utility).

--- Additional comment from sherr on 2012-06-19 10:20:45 EDT ---

The problem was that the sub queries in the elaborator end up running many, many times. I have a simplified query that will return the information we want while only doing the necessary joins twice. The sub-query is necessary because if a file is in more than one config channel we are subscribed to we want to only list the one in the highest priority config channel. I will switch the api over to using this query.

select cc.label as config_channel_label,
       cft.label AS config_file_type,
       cr.modified as last_modified_date,
       cc.name AS config_channel_name,
       cct.label AS config_channel_type,
       cfn.path
  from rhnConfigChannel cc,
       rhnConfigChannelType cct,
       rhnConfigFileType cft,
       rhnConfigRevision cr,
       rhnConfigFile cf,
       rhnConfigFileName cfn,
       rhnServerConfigChannel scc,
       (select  cf.config_file_name_id as id, min(scc.position) as position
          FROM  rhnServerConfigChannel SCC,
                rhnConfigFile CF, rhnUserServerPerms USP,
                rhnConfigChannel CC, rhnConfigChannelType CCT
