Other Columns to Index
•
•
•
•
Key columns
Columns used frequently in queries
Columns with many distinct values
Guidelines:
– Start with the least number of indexes
– Add indexes as the data grows
– Check both query and DML perfomance
Choosing the Number of Indexes
• More indexes = slower insert and delete
• Concatenated indexes can help
Queries:
NAME = 'SMITH';
JOB LIKE 'SALES%'
AND NAME = 'SMITH';
JOB = 'CLERK'
AND NAME = 'SMITH'
AND HIREDATE > '1-JUN-98';
HIREDATE = '31-DEC-98';
Indexes:
NAME JOB HIREDATE
NAME
JOB
HIREDATE
Oracle Sequence
• Database object:
– Generates unique
numbers
– Minimizes contention
• Gaps in sequence

Oracle Sequences
• Efficient
• Have Gaps
– Rolled back transactions do not return
used sequence numbers

Choosing a Method
• Oracle sequence:
– Sequential values with gaps
– Recommended
• Code control sequence:
– Databases other than Oracle
– Sequential values without gaps
– Contention can be tolerated
• Sequence within a parent:
– Minimal number of detail records
