this is just a generic question. If a table has multiple Indexes on it say a table of 20 columns where 8 columns have indexes on it (each columns out of the 8 has an index on it and out of which three columns contain unique indexes on it).
If i run a query on this table where only two columns are specified in the where clause are the remaining 6 indexes on the table scanned during query execution.
How many different types of indexes we have in oracle?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have noticed that Oracle text related objects, particularily the $I tables are some of the largest objects in our database. I have been actively pursuing utilizing Oracle advanced compression in our databases for OLTP table compression and LOB object compression. I have been unable to find any documentation or notes on if it is advisable to implement either table OLTP or LOB compression for Oracle text objects.

I am on Oracle 11.2.0.3 on Linux and have implemented Oracle Text.I created Oracle Text indexes with default setting. However in an oracle white paper I read that the default setting may not be right. Here is the excerpt from the white paper by Roger Ford:URL....(Part of this white paper below....)Index Memory.
As mentioned above, cached $I entries are flushed to disk each time the indexing memory is exhausted. The default index memory at installation is a mere 12MB, which is very low. Users can specify up to 50MB at index creation time, but this is still pretty low. This would be done by a CREATE INDEX statement something like: CREATE INDEX myindex ON mytable(mycol) INDEXTYPE IS ctxsys.context PARAMETERS ('index memory 50M'); Allow index memory settings above 50MB, the CTXSYS user must first increase the value of the MAX_INDEX_MEMORY parameter, like this: begin ctx_ adm. set_ parameter('max_index_memory', '500M'); end; The setting for index memory should never be so high as to cause paging, as this will have a serious effect on indexing speed. On smaller dedicated systems, it is sometimes advantageous to temporarily decrease the amount of memory consumed by the Oracle SGA (for example by decreasing DB_CACHE_SIZE and/or SHARED_POOL_SIZE) during the index creation process.
Once the index has been created, the SGA size can be increased again to improve query performance." (End here from the white paper excerpt)My question is:
1) To apply this procedure (ctx_adm.set_parameter) required me to login as CTXSYS user. Is that right? or can it be avoided and be done from the application schema? This user CTXSYS is locked by default and I had to unlock it. Is that ok to do in production?
2) What is the value that I should use for the max_index_memory should it be 500 mb - my SGA is 2 GB in Dev/ QA and 3GB in production. Also in the index creation what is the value I should set for index memory parameter - I had left that at default but how should I change now? Should it be 50MB as shown in example above?
3) The white paper also refer to rebuilding an index at some interval like once in a month: ALTER INDEX DR$index_name$X REBUILD ONLINE; We are on Oracle 11g and the white paper was written in 2003.

View 8 Replies View RelatedSay we have an employee(id_emp) table with a primary key on id_emp. We have also some history tables emp_stuff with columns say (id_emp, dat_event, some_stuff) with primary key id_emp, dat_event.
This means that we have a unique index on (id_emp,dat_event). We also have a foreign key id_emp that references employee(id_emp). When we update id_emp on employee, we still have a lock on emp_stuff. According to this (end of the page) :
Quote:So, in short, with releases prior to Oracle Database 11g Release 1, you will want an index on the foreign key of the child table if you do any of the following:
Update the parent table primary key
Delete from the parent table
Merge into the parent table
So is id_emp in emp_stuff considered as indexed (through the unique index of the primary key) or do we have to add an explicit index
like this CREATE INDEX emp_stuff ON emp_stuff(id_emp) to avoide child table locks?
I have noticed a very questionable phrase on an article updated in 2011: "Oracle SE may allow you to create a function-based index, but you must pay for an EE license to use FBI's." [URL] Is this true? I have tested a FBI on my SE and works just fine.

Lot of my tables are just for join purpose , a table with just with two columns both FK , I did not add any composite PK to this table, lot my queries uses this table , because it does not have composite PK will the query be slow ? what I have to do to increase performance querying with such tables ?

We are evaluating partition strategies with view to achieving performance gains in reporting in particular. How efficient are partitioned indexes in this regard e.g.
just partitioned indexes on an un partitioned table.
One large fact table with durrogate keys on which have bitmpa indexes which link to unique key in associated dimensions. Considering partitioning the bitmap index which links to the largest dimension and similarly partition the dimension key on largest dimension.

View 6 Replies View RelatedDoes size (number of rows) of table and corresponding indexes have influence on INSERT operations (bigger table - slower insert)?
I supposed that if select returns the same rows in small and big table, there will be no difference in performance?
A basic select and group by query I am optimising for my Database course has returned results that indicate it will perform better on a clustered index when returning a smaller number of rows (5% of the largest table) and on a hash clustered index when returning higher volumes (50% and 80%). I understand that it is possible to use more than one index type on a table to improve performance, but I am struggling to understand how I might establish a hash cluster and a cluster on the same table? and then use hints to drive the query down one access path or the other.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a few dimension tables with surrogate keys and a fact table with foreign keys on columns referring to the dimension table. I want to create primary keys on the dimension tables and foreign keys on the fact table, but with minimal overhead of constraint validation when loading the data.
Other than bitmap indexes on the FK columns on the fact table, I also want to create a bitmap join index on the fact table joined to the dimension table on a handful of dimension columns.
Which is the best suited constraint definition? Only RELY, or RELY + DISABLE, or RELY + DISABLE + NOVALIDATE, or RELY + NOVALIDATE, or any other?

I have a task to create a procedure that disables (particular) partitioned indexes and REBUILD after ETL load.
Developers wants 3 parameters for the procedure:
1) TABLE_OWNER2) TABLE_NAME3) TRANSACTION_DATE = 13-JUN-12
And here is what I have done. I have created a procedure that takes 3 input parameters, please see the attached script:
1) TABLE_OWNER 2) TABLE_NAME 3) PARTITION_NAME - requires to query the particular partition to get the partition name
a situation where they will input dates as the partition was on a DATE column, now my challenge is how to incorporate this into the procedure to accept DATE as an input which will require one to query the particular table to get dates.I thought of using (HIGH_VALUE - 1) to get the dates from ALL_IND_PARTITIONS.

I know that truncate is a ddl operation that removes all the data from the table and set the HWM to very beginning. I am curious to know, is anyhow indexes will be affected on the issuance of truncate command or we need to rebuild the indexes after issuing truncate.
Also is there any way to know that how many rows/blocks a select statement is scanning because of the effect of HWM even the table has 0 rows.

For partitioned tables (RANGE, LIST types ) what are circumstances when a Global or a Local Index become UNUSABLE ?

For partitioned tables with Global Index, the global index will be listed in DBA_INDEXES . Right ?
I have a table like MyTab(a int, b int), and I am required to create a primary key index and a non-unique index on this table using columns (a,b) in a specific table space.
The back end database is Oracle 10g.
Here's what I have tried so far, needless to say, unsuccessfully.
Alter Table MyTab
Add Constraint c_1 primary key (a, b)
Using Index (Create index mytab_idx on MyTab(a, b))
Using index tablespace results_index
So my question are:
1. is this is possible? if so, what is the correct syntax.
2. assuming it is possible, using this sort of construct before? it appears to be conflicting and inconsistent to me.
I been doing a little testing with indexing the contents of URLs (database v11.2.x.x).
ctx_ddl.drop_preference('TEST_URL');
ctx_ddl.create_preference('TEST_URL','URL_DATASTORE');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('TEST_URL','Timeout','3600');
create index datastores_text on test_url_search ( doc ) indextype is ctxsys.context parameters ( 'Datastore TEST_URL' );
SELECT SCORE(1),DOC from TEST_URL_SEARCH WHERE CONTAINS(DOC, 'London', 1) > 0
This works. i like to more
e.g. multi words search e.g. ' London Games' where if London or games are present it return a URL with a score,
or
Search in the Chinese.
The only way I can see to do this is create different indexes as the attributes for 'URL_DATASTORE' are limited. If I can what does the 'Contains' statement look like?
