View 3 Replies View RelatedText :: Index For Domain Index With Composite Domain Index (CDI) Very Slow
Jun 27, 2012I am on 11.2.0.3 Enterprise Edition. We are using the new feature "Composite Domain Index" for a Domain index on a very large table (>250.000.000 rows). It really works with mixed queries. We added two number columns using FILTER BY.We have lots of DML on this table. Therefore, we are executing synchronize and optimize once the week. The synch behaves pretty normal. But "optimize_index" takes a very very long time to complete. I have switsched on 'logging' for the optimize process. The $I table takes some time but is finished normally. But the optimization of the $S table (that is the table created for the CDI feature) is running over 12 hours now - and far from being finished. From the logfile, I can see that it optimizes 1000 rows every 20 minutes. Here is the output of the logfile:
Oracle Text, 11.2.0.3.0
14:33:05 06/26/12 begin logging
14:33:05 06/26/12 event
14:33:05 06/26/12 process $N for optimize: SEQDEV.GEN_GES_DESCRIPTION_CTX_I
14:33:16 06/26/12
14:33:16 06/26/12
[code]....
I haven't found a recommendation from Oracle not to use "optimize_index" for Domain Indexes with CDI. But in my case, it would be much faster just to drop and recreate the Domain Index in question.

Performance Tuning :: Index With NVL / Query Is No Longer Using Index
Nov 19, 2010I have a query which had a join:
a.c1=b.c1 and a.c2=@var
where @var is user supplied input at runtime...We had a index on a.c2 . The CBO would use this index to generate an opitimised query plan.We found some records from table "b" were dropping due to inner join. So we made a change in join. It'd be like
a.c1(+)=b.c1 and nvl(a.c2,@var)=@var
This query is no longer using the index, instead its doing a full table scan causing the query to slowdown.I have tried creating index on nvl(a.c2,'31-dec-9999')
But the CBO won't use it.Anyway to create index on this col so that full table scan can be avoided?

View 10 Replies View RelatedWhen Index Lock Contention Occurs / How To Know Which Index Is Causing
Aug 27, 2012We have occurrences of enq : TX - index contentions in the database. Using the SQL ID, we have identified the INSERT statement and the table which they are trying to insert.
This table has almost 25 different indexes, some of which are unique as well.I am wondering how to identify the actual index causing issue, out of these 25 indexes.
Is there any way to pin point to the name of index which is causing the lock?My plan is, once the index is identified, I would like to check the extents and inittrans and other attributes of this index to fix.
PL/SQL :: Index Range Scan And Table Access By Index Rowid Versus Table Access Full
Oct 5, 2013Let's consider such table that all rows fit into single block:

Table created.
SQL> create index i_test on test(id);

why does approach with full scan take longer even if table occupies only one data block? PS. 11gR2
Last Used Time Of Index
Apr 7, 2011I'm using Oracle 11g and I have a bunch of indexes and I want to check if they are being used. I just ran my workloads and now I want to see when each one was last used so I can see if it was during my timeframe or not.
After I ran my test, I found the below, but since I did not enable this, plus I have many indexes.
--Monitor an index to see if it's used
alter index SAMPLE_INDEX monitoring usage;
select * from v$object_usage where index_name = 'SAMPLE_INDEX';

SQL & PL/SQL :: Use Of Table Index?
Feb 10, 2012Am pasting the sample code here, which i got from some site..
DECLARE
TYPE population_type IS TABLE OF NUMBER INDEX BY VARCHAR2(64);
country_population population_type;
continent_population population_type;
howmany NUMBER;
[code]...
Here we are fetching indexes (like Antartica/Australia) from these two statements continent_population.FIRST or continent_population.LAST. If there are three or more indexes in the same table, how to fetch all of them?
I have tried using this, but doesnt work because loop variables are by default integers:
for i in continent_population.FIRST .. continent_population.LAST loop
dbms_output.put_line('i:'||i);
end loop;

Why wouldn't it use the index in the group by? If I write a loop to query for different partnerid (there are only three), the whole things takes less than a second.
btw, I gave the index hint too. Didn't work. Version mentioned in the example.
Index On Partitioning Key
Mar 13, 2012There is a very large fact table that is range partitioned by a column DATE_KEY of type NUMBER(38), such that every hour is a different partition. There is a bitmap index BX$FACT#DATE_KEY on field DATE_KEY, which also is a foreign key referencing DATE_DIM (DATE_KEY). There is a different DATE_KEY for every hour, generated as YYYYMMDDHH24.
When I run
"SELECT * FROM FACT WHERE DATE_KEY >= 2012031207 AND DATE_KEY < 2012031208"
to get all the records for 7 am on March 12th, partition pruning kicks in and sees that only one partition is used. The CBO then decides to do a full scan of the partition. This behavior is correct/desired.
If, however, I run
"SELECT * FROM FACT WHERE DATE_KEY = 2012031207 AND DATE_KEY < 2012031209"
to get all the records for 7 and 8 am, Oracle knows that it will have to scan two partitions. The CBO then decides that using the BX$FACT#DATE_KEY must be a good idea and, instead of doing a full scan of the partitions, does access by local index rowid, which is many times slower.
I think I understand the cause - when more than a single partition is involved, Oracle has to use the global index stats (instead of the local ones, like in the first scenario) and the CBO decides to use it because that the selectivity for the global index is great, when in fact the query will return all the rows for that particular partition (no selectivity).
How to get the CBO to choose a full scan in the second scenario as well? I need to support ad-hoc queries generated by a BI tool, so I cannot add hints to the queries. I also can't get rid of the index on DATE_KEY, because in real life the predicates are on fields of the date dimension, not directly on the key, so I need to join on it.
Bitmap Index Not Getting Used
Oct 20, 2012I am using ORACLE 11gR1.
I was running a test on a huge table with a bitmap index on one of the columns. But bitmap index is not getting used. Below are the test details.
create table test (col1 number, col2 number);
begin
for i in 1..1000000
loop
if mod(i,2) = 0 then
insert into test values(i, 'Y');
else
insert into test values(i, 'N');
end if;
end loop;
end;
COMMIT;
The intention here is to have only two distinct values in the entire table. Based on these values I will not build BITMAP index on col2.
CREATE BITMAP INDEX BITMAP_TEST on TEST(col2) COMPUTE STATISTICS;
Now when I run the below query, it doesn't uses BITMAP index. Instead the explain plan shows a full table scan.
select * from test where col2 = 'Y';
Now when I force ORACLE to use index through hint, the cost is too high while using the bitmap index(probably why the ORACLE chose not to use the index at the first stage).
I have read somewhere, that BITMAP index is useful when we have more than 1 or 2 bitmap indexes on other columns of the same table as well And the query should be like
select * from table where col1 = 'Y' and sex = 'F';
In this case oracle will use BITMAP but not in the case where there is only one column that has BITMAP index.
Considering all the factors stated above, is there any way I can fine tune my original query?
select * from test where col2 = 'Y';

Dec 28, 2012I have a table (Order_Table) in which there are 4 indexes. Suppose the column names are col1, col2, col3, col4, col5, col6. The primary key is on col1, col2, col3, col4.
There are three indexes on the table:
index1: col1
index2: col1, col2, col3, col5
index3: col1, col2, col3, col6
Now when I am issuing a select statement with a WHERE clause of col1,col2,col3 then it is using index2. Again when I am issuing a select statement with a WHERE clause of col1,col2 then it is using the primary key. understand the functionality or point to the documentation link.
PL/SQL :: Foreign Key Index
Mar 13, 2013You should almost always index foreign keys because they are frequently used in joins. In addition, if you intend to delete or update unique or primary keys on the parent table, you should index the foreign keys to improve the locking of child records.what I don't understand are, I should create index on foreign key column in parent table or child table or both ?
