Using Oracle Index Hints in SQL statements
Using Oracle Index Hints in SQL statements
Hints are used to give specific information that we know about our data and application, to Oracle. This further improves the performance of our system. There can be instances where the default optimizer may not be efficient for a certain SQL statements. We can specify HINTS with the SQL statements, to improve the efficiency of those SQL statements.
In this article, we shall see how to specify INDEX hints and what the advantages of the same are.
1 How to specify Hints
The Hints are enclosed in comment, /* comment */, in an SQL statement, and can only be specified with SELECT, DELETE and UPDATE keyword.
SELECT /* comment */ ........ ;
All hints should start with a + sign. This tells the SQL Parser that the SQL has a hint specified with it.
SELECT /*+{hint} */ ........ ;
2 Using INDEX Hints
When you specify an INDEX Hint, the optimizer knows that it has to use the INDEX specified in the hint. In this case, the optimizer does not go for a Full Table Scan nor does it use any other index. In addition, it does not calculate the cost of the Index to be used.
If no INDEX hint is specified the optimizer determines the cost of the each index that could be used to access the table and uses the one with the lower cost.
If there are multiple indexes specified with the Hint then the optimizer has to determine the cost of each index to be used with the specified table. Once that is determined, it uses the Index with the lower cost to access the table. In this case, the optimizer does not do a FULL Table Scan. Also note that, the optimizer may choose to use multiple indexes and then merge the result sets to access the table. This method is used if the cost is low.
Syntax:
/*+ INDEX ( table [index [index]...] ) */
Where:
table specifies the name or alias of the table associated with the index to be scanned.
index specifies an index on which an index scan is to be

Oracle 10g statistic数据统计,Oracle会根据这些统计信息来决定是走RBO(Rule-BasedOptimization)，还是走CBO(Cost-BasedOptimization)，会去选择哪种执行计划更划算,影响是否走相关的索引等.如果是CBO的话，它依靠准确的（或者说比较准确的）统计信息来产生优化的执行路径,如果没有做过统计，CBO也就没有做cost评估的依据 ......
在ORACLE中给表、列增加注释以及读取注释
1、给表填加注释：SQL>comment on table 表名 is '表注释";
2、给列加注释：SQL>comment on column 表.列 is '列注释';
3、读取表注释：SQL>select * from user_tab_comments where comments is not null;
4、读取列注释：SQL>select * from user_col_commnents wh ......
先构造一个表:
create table emp2(
id number(2),
name varchar(10),
currdate date,
action varchar2(1)
)
创建触发器：
create or replace trigger d_i_u_emp2
after insert or update or delete on mysort
begin
if inserting then
insert into emp2 values (12,'dog',sysdate,'i');
elsif deleting then ......
