index_combine:

 

index_combine最早是用在bitmap index上的,在9i开始oracle默认可以使用在btree索引上,这是由_b_tree_bitmap_plans参数来控制的.oracle将btree索引中获得的rowid信息通过BITMAP CONVERSION FROM ROWIDS的步骤转换成bitmap进行匹配,然后匹配完成后通过BITMAP CONVERSION TO ROWIDS再转换出rowid获得数据或者回表获得数据.

SELECT /*+ index_combine(test ind_test_owner ind_test_object_name)*/

 OWNER, OBJECT_NAME

  FROM TEST

 WHERE OWNER = 'TEST'

   AND OBJECT_NAME = 'TEST'

Execution Plan
———————————————————-

| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)|
———————————————————————————————
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 1 | 29 | 2 (0)|
| 1 | BITMAP CONVERSION TO ROWIDS | | 1 | 29 | 2 (0)|
| 2 | BITMAP AND | | | | |
| 3 | BITMAP CONVERSION FROM ROWIDS| | | | |
|* 4 | INDEX RANGE SCAN | IND_TEST_OWNER | | | 1 (0)|
| 5 | BITMAP CONVERSION FROM ROWIDS| | | | |
|* 6 | INDEX RANGE SCAN | IND_TEST_OBJECT_NAME | | | 1 (0)|

回表取数据的情况

SELECT /*+ index_combine(test ind_test_owner ind_test_object_name)*/

 OWNER, OBJECT_NAME,OBJECT_TYPE

  FROM TEST

 WHERE OWNER = 'TEST'

   AND OBJECT_NAME = 'TEST'

———————————————————————————————-
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)|
———————————————————————————————-
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 1 | 40 | 2 (0)|
| 1 | TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID | TEST | 1 | 40 | 2 (0)|

| 4 | BITMAP CONVERSION FROM ROWIDS| | | | |

| 6 | BITMAP CONVERSION FROM ROWIDS| | | | |
|* 7 | INDEX RANGE SCAN | IND_TEST_OBJECT_NAME | | | 1 (0)|

不带查询条件的情况

index combine将不被使用

SELECT /*+ index_combine(test ind_test_owner ind_test_object_name)*/

 OWNER, OBJECT_NAME

  FROM TEST

| 2 | INDEX FULL SCAN | IND_TEST_OWNER | 51984 | | 123 (2)|

index_combine会是and_equal的很好的替代者,随着and_equal的退出,index_combine将更多得被我们看到.
