联合索引的使用,如果在表的两个字段上建立联合索引,在查询时如果谓词中没有出现第一个字段,仍然可以通过index skip scan的方式实现索引访问的方式。但是要注意的是不是所有的情况使用index skip scan都是最优的。当联合索引的第一个字段相同的值很多,大部分是相同的,这种情况下使用index skip scan的方式是最优的。

SQL> create table t as select 1 id, object_name from dba_objects;

Table created.

SQL> insert into t select 2, object_name from dba_objects;

50319 rows created.

SQL> insert into t select 3, object_name from dba_objects;

50319 rows created.

SQL> insert into t select 4, object_name from dba_objects;

50319 rows created.

SQL> commit ;

Commit complete.
SQL> select id,count(*) from t group by id;

        ID   COUNT(*)
---------- ----------
         1      50319
         2      50319
         4      50319
         3      50319

可以看到表t的值集中在ID为1,2,3,4几个值上面,这时选择Index Skip Scan的访问方式是最优的。分析如下:

SQL> select * from t where object_name='TEST';

no rows selected

当使用hints使其采用全表扫描的方式时

SQL> select /*+ full(t) */ * from t where object_name='TEST';

no rows selected

由上面可以看到,使用Index Skip Scan时只扫描了14个数据块,而采用全表扫描则扫描了900个数据块。


但是两外一种情况确实截然相反的,当联合索引的第一个值重复很少时,使用全表扫描的效率却要高一些。
