假设一张表上有十几个索引,你有什么感受?显然会拖慢增、删、改的速度。不要指望开发者能建好索引。我的处理方法是先监控非常长的一段时间。看哪些索引没实用到,然后删除。

但删除以后,假设发现某一天实用,那又要又一次建,假设是大表。那就有些麻烦。如今11g提供一个新特性,不可见索引。能够建索引设置为不可见索引。CBO在评估运行计划的时候会忽略它,假设须要的时候。设置回来就可以。

    另一种用途,你在调试一条SQL语句,要建一个索引測试。而你不想影响其它的会话,用不可见索引正是时候。

SQL> drop table test purge;
 
  SQL> create table test as select * from dba_objects;
 SQL> create index ind_t_object_id on test(object_id);
 SQL> exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(user,'test',cascade => true);
 SQL> set autotrace traceonly
 SQL> select * from test where object_id = 10;
