研究发现,oracle数据库使用的索引不会超过总数的25%,或者不易他们期望被使用的方式使用。通过 监控数据库索引的使用,释放那些未被使用的索引,从而节省维护索引的开销,优化性能。
1、在oracle8i中,确定使用了那个索引的方法意味着要对存在语共享SQL区中的所有语句运行EXPLIAN PALN,然后查询计划表中的OPERATION列,从而识别有OBJECT_OWNER和OBJECT_NAME列所确定的那个索引上的索引访问。
下面是一个监控索引使用的脚本,这个脚本仅仅是一个样品,在某种条件下成立:
条件:
运行这个脚本的用户拥有权限解释所有的v$sqlarea中的sql,除了不是被SYS装载的。plan_table.remarks能够别用来决定与特权习惯的错误。对所有的共享池中SQL,参数OPTIMIZER_GOAL是一个常量,无视v$sqlarea.optimizer_mode。两次快照之间,统计资料被再次分析过。没有语句别截断。所有的对象都是局部的。所有被引用的表或视图或者是被运行脚本的用户所拥有,或者完全有资格的名字或同义词被使用。自从上次快照以来,没有不受"欢迎"的语句被冲洗出共享池(例如,在装载)。对于所有的语句,v$sqlarea.version_count = 1 (children)。

关于这个脚本,有几个重要的地方需要注意,即它可能一起明显的开销,因此,应该在仔细地进行 权衡后才把它应用到繁忙的生产应用系统中区。
2、oracle9i中如何确定索引的使用情况:
在oracle9i中,情况会简单得多,因为有一个新得字典视图V$SQL_PLAN存储了实际计划,这些计划用于执行共享SQL区中得语句。V$SQL_PLAN视图很类似与计划表,但V$SQL_PLAN使用ADDRESS和HASH_VALUE列 来识别语句, 而计划表使用用户提供得STATEMENT_ID来识别语句。下面的SQL显示了在一个oracle9i数据库中,由出现在共享SQL区中语句使用的所有索引。
select object_owner, object_name, options, count(*)
from v$sql_plan
where operation='INDEX'
and object_owner!='SYS'
group by object_owner, object_name, operation, options
order by count(*) desc; |
所有基于共享SQL区中的信心来识别索引使用情况的方法, 都可能会收集到不完整的信息。共享SQL区是一 个动态结构,除非能对它进行足够频繁的采样, 否则在有关索引使用的情况的信息被收集之前,SQL语句可 能就已经(因为老化)被移出缓存了。oracle9i提供了解决这个问题的方案,即它为alter index提供了一个monitoring usage子句。当启用monitoring usage 时,oralce记录简单的yes或no值,以指出在监控间隔 期间某个索引是否被使用。
为了演示这个新特性,你可以使用下面的例子:
(a) Create and populate a small test table
(b) Create Primary Key index on that table
(c) Query v$object_usage: the monitoring has not started yet
(d) Start monitoring of the index usage
(e) Query v$object_usage to see the monitoring in progress
(f) Issue the SELECT statement which uses the index
(g) Query v$object_usage again to see that the index has been used
(h) Stop monitoring of the index usage
(i) Query v$object_usage to see that the monitoring sDetailed steps
(a) Create and populate a small test table
create table products (
prod_id number(3),
prod_name_code varchar2(5));
insert into products values(1,'aaaaa');
insert into products values(2,'bbbbb');
insert into products values(3,'ccccc');
insert into products values(4,'ddddd');
commit;
(b) Create Primary Key index on that table
alter table products add (constraint products_pk primary key (prod_id));
(c) Query v$object_usage: the monitoring has not started yet
