Creating a Function-Based Index

You must set the initialization parameter QUERY_REWRITE_ENABLED to true in order to take advantage of function-based indexes.



SQL>
SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET QUERY_REWRITE_ENABLED=TRUE;
SQL>


Creating an Index

An index for a database table is similar in concept to a book index.

When a row is added to the table, additional time is required to update the index for the new row.

Oracle database automatically creates an index for the primary key of a table and for columns included in a unique constraint.

You create an index using CREATE INDEX, which has the following simplified syntax:



CREATE [UNIQUE] INDEX index_name ON
table_name(column_name[, column_name...])
TABLESPACE table_space;


Demonstrate a bitmap join index.
