Types of indexes
Two types of indexes can be created. One type is a unique index: the Oracle Server automatically creates this index when you define a column in a table to have a PRIMARY KEY or a UNIQUE key constraint. The name of the index is the name given to the constraint.
The other type of index is a nonunique index, which a user can create. For example, you can create a FOREIGN KEY column index for a join in a query to improve retrieval speed
