Introduction to Oracle B-Tree indexes (B-Tree indexes)

Analysis of Oracle B-Tree index search principles

Comparison between B-Tree and Bitmap indexes of Oracle Indexes

Principle Exploration from the balance Tree to the oracle B-Tree Index

Ii. Experiment operations:

Create a t_btree table and create a B-Tree index. The index key is object_id:

SQL> create table t_btree as select * from dba_objects;

Table created.

SQL> create index ind_tree on t_btree (object_id );

Index created.

Run the following query statement twice and display the execution plan:

SQL> set autotrace traceonly;
SQL> select * from t_btree where object_id = 9899;
