雖然索引並不總會快於全表掃描,但是很多時候我們希望Oracle使用索引來執行某些SQL,這時候我們可以通過index hints來強制SQL使用index.
Index Hints的格式如下:
/*+ INDEX ( table [index [index]...] ) */我們簡單看一下這個提示的用法(範例為Oracle10g資料庫):
SQL> create table t as select username,password from dba_users;Table created.SQL> create index i_t on t(username);Index created.SQL> set autotrace trace explainSQL> select /*+ index(t i_t) */ * from t where username='EYGLE';Execution Plan----------------------------------------------------------Plan hash value: 2928007915------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 1 | 34 | 2 (0)| 00:00:01 || 1 | TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID| T | 1 | 34 | 2 (0)| 00:00:01 ||* 2 | INDEX RANGE SCAN | I_T | 1 | | 1 (0)| 00:00:01 |------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Predicate Information (identified by operation id):--------------------------------------------------- 2 - access("USERNAME"='EYGLE')Note----- - dynamic sampling used for this statement 這裡的查詢使用了索引.

需要注意的是使用CTAS方式建立資料表,建立表會繼承原表的約束屬性:
SQL> desc t Name Null? Type ----------------------------------------- -------- ---------------------------- USERNAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30) PASSWORD VARCHAR2(30)
如果不使用Hints,此處Oracle不會使用索引:
SQL> select * from t where username='EYGLE';Execution Plan----------------------------------------------------------Plan hash value: 1601196873--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |--------------------------------------------------------------------------| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 1 | 34 | 2 (0)| 00:00:01 ||* 1 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| T | 1 | 34 | 2 (0)| 00:00:01 |--------------------------------------------------------------------------Predicate Information (identified by operation id):--------------------------------------------------- 1 - filter("USERNAME"='EYGLE')Note----- - dynamic sampling used for this statement 索引和全表掃描的選擇和取捨並非簡單,本文不作進一步探討.
