使用索引的误区之一：没有使用复合索引的前导列导致查询不使用索引

在oracle中，我们经常以为建立了索引，sql查询的时候就会如我们所希望的那样使用索引，事实上，oracle只会在一定条件下使用索引，这里我们总结数第一点：oracle会在条件中包含了前导列时使用索引，即查询条件中必须使用索引中的第一个列，请看下面的例子

SQL> select * from tab;

 

TNAME                          TABTYPE  CLUSTERID

------------------------------ ------- ----------

BONUS                          TABLE

DEPT                           TABLE

DUMMY                          TABLE

EMP                            TABLE

SALGRADE                       TABLE

 

建立一个联合索引（注意复合索引的索引列顺序）

SQL> create index emp_id1 on emp(empno,ename,deptno);

 

Index created

 

建立一个单键索引

SQL> create index emp_id2 on emp(sal);

 

Index created

 

 

SQL> select table_name,index_name from user_indexes

  2  where table_name='EMP';

 

TABLE_NAME                     INDEX_NAME

------------------------------ ------------------------------

EMP                            EMP_ID1

EMP                            EMP_ID2

 

SQL> SELECT * FROM USER_IND_COLUMNS

  2  /

 

INDEX_NAME                     TABLE_NAME                     COLUMN_NAME                                                                      COLUMN_POSITION COLUMN_LENGTH CHAR_LENGTH DESCEND

------------------------------ ------------------------------ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- ------------- ----------- -------

EMP_ID1                        EMP                            EMPNO                                                                                          1            22           0 ASC

EMP_ID1                        EMP                            ENAME                                                                                          2            10          10 ASC

EMP_ID1                        EMP                            DEPTNO                                                                                         3            22           0 ASC

EMP_ID2                        EMP                            SAL                                                                                            1            22           0 ASC

 

下面的查询由于没有使用到复合索引的前导列，所以没有使用索引

 select job, empno from emp where ename='RICH';

下面的查询也由于没有使用到复合索引的前导列，所以没有使用索引

select job, empno from emp where deptno=30;

下面的查询使用了复合索引中的前导列，所以查询走索引了

select job, empno from emp where empno=7777;

下面的查询使用了复合索引中的第一列和第二列，所以查询走索引了

select job, empno from emp where empno=7777 and ename='RICH';

使用了复合索引的全部列，所以走索引了，另外由于选了了索引中没有包含的列（job），

所以进行索引全表扫描得到满足条件的rowid后，还要到表中检索相应的行

select job, empno from emp where empno=7777 and ename='RICH' and deptno=30;

使用了复合索引的全部列，所以走索引了，而且由于所有选择的列都包含在索引中，所以仅仅进行了索引范围扫描

select empno from emp where empno=7777 and ename='RICH' and deptno=30;
