That is a feature of fatcity mailing list. Those who are members of ODTUG will be familiar with this. You also cannot just do a reply and get that person only. All replys go to the list.

Just a guess, but reducing # of datafiles could speed up checkpoints. You'd have less datafile headers to update.

BTW how come when I reply-all to the new list, it doesn't CC the original poster? It just doubles up on oracle-l_at_fatcity.com? I had to manuall add you to the CC of this message.

 Subject: Re: Add more index or not ?

Colin

Thanks for replying.

I remember someone asking me this question in interview.

Two cases on diff databases

1. Table with index on only one column say c1.
 where clause is := where c1 = 'something'
 (Returning 100 records , total 100000 records)

2. Table with index on two columns say c1,c2
  where clause is :=  where c1 = 'something'
 (Returning 100 records , total 100000 records)

The question was in which case the retrieval is faster 
(Assuming rest all identical for indexes)

I answered case 1. Is it correct ?? 
Or in both cases there is really no difference how oracle traverse thro'
index & fetches required rows??? 

Sameer

> Both uses a hashing algorithm to convert the key value before it...
Actually, no. A B-tree (or variation thereof) uses NO hashing techniques. That would be a Hash Index. A B-tree is a sorted (or ordered) index. Sameer: An index on columns A and B will obviously use more storage than a index on just column A, but if you access the data by mostly column A and sometimes columns A & B, then there is NO point having both an index on columns A & B and another one on A alone. The "A" index is just un-needed overhead. Please re-post if you'd like to discuss this further. Remember: The purpose of an index is to speed up reads and slow down writes. Colin. Please respond to "Rajagopal Venkataramany" <rajagopalvr_at_hotmail.com> To: "oracle list" <oracle_at_telelists.com> cc: oracle_at_telelists.com bcc: Hi, Both uses a hashing algorithm to convert the key value before it stored or used in search. Obviously the storage requirements would be more for a composite index when compared with a independent index. Regarding the effect on performance when using a composite index (A+B) instead of a index on A alone : It depends on the data distribution. With the combination of A+B, if we are able to hit a few set of records then this would be the best approach. You can use this in situation where both the values of A and B are known. If the requirement is that most of the time only A is known, then it would make sense to have a independent index on just A alone.

(Apart from the update/delete overhead) What I was under impression that composit index will be technically slower since it has to read A,B,rowid. & the index only on A will have to read A,rowid.
