当我们在对生产库做优化的时候，主要就是对SQL语句的优化，包括语句的等价改写等，但其中很大一部分情况，又与索引有关。如果能合理利用合适的索引，可以使原本走全表扫描产生的逻辑读大大降低，提高数据库的性能。由于Oracle数据库中的索引本身就要占用磁盘空间，维护索引需要一定的开销，如何才能知道创建某个索引，会给数据带来性能的提升，而又不至于判断失误，创建了一个不恰当的索引，最后又不得不删除呢？这种情况下，我们可以利用Oralce提供的虚拟索引，即nosegment索引，它并不占用磁盘资源，只是在数据字典中增加一个定义。它为DBA在创建索引对提升数据库性能的方面提供了一定的参考。下面来看具体测试和分析：

可以看到，用CTAS创建的测试表fakeind上目前并没有索引，因此在生成的执行计划中，该条SQL语句只能走全表扫描

虽然创建了真实索引，但数据库却仍旧在用虚拟索引，此时COST和TIME反而还上去了一点，那么需要先禁用虚拟索引
SQL> alter session
set "_use_segment_indexes"=false;
--禁用虚拟索引后继续查看刚才的SQL

虽然使用真实索引之后，性能提升并不如使用虚拟索引时那样多，但至少比最初没有索引的情况下，要
快了将近28秒，COST也减少了将近一半，当真实索引建立完毕以后，可以对虚拟索引进行删除，以免白白占用一个对象名，删除语法和删除普通索引一致。
虚拟索引有几个要注意的地方：
--虚拟索引并不存在于dba_indexes视图
SQL> select index_name from
dba_indexes where index_name='
IND_FAKE_ID';
no rows selected
--无法创建与虚拟索引同名的真实索引
SQL> create index ind_fake_id on fakeind_test(object_name);
create index ind_fake_id on fakeind_test(object_name)
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00955: name is already used by an existing object
--无法使用alter命令来修改或重建索引
SQL>
alter index ind_fake_id
rename to ind_fake_name;
alter index ind_fake_id rename to ind_fake_name
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-08114: can not alter a fake index
SQL>
alter index ind_fake_id
rebuild;
alter index ind_fake_id rebuild
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-08114: can not alter a fake index
--查看虚拟索引的方法
SQL> set autot off

总结：
这个测试其实并没有做的很完善，SQL语句选取得不好，正常情况下，原有语句所涉及的表至少且肯定会有一个主键索引，没有索引的表在OLTP生产库中是不太现实的。本文主要是起到一个抛砖引玉的作用，当我们面对一个数据库优化的场景，需要测试创建某个特定条件的索引是否会给系统带来性能提升，就可以借助虚拟索引来测试，因为在生产库中通常不允许随意创建索引，而维护索引对数据库而言也是一笔不小的开销，况且如果索引创建不当，可能使数据库性能更糟糕。
