equality_preds

    colX = 99

equijoin_preds

    t1.colX = t2.coly

The table is used by Oracle in its attempts to do automatic selection of columns that could use histograms. It's on my to-do list to see if it could be helpful for anything else. The main problem with it for analyzing indexing strategies is that you get no clue about multi-column predicates.

Maybe I am being little bit clueless (blame that on Eggnog) but what's the difference between the columns equality_preds and equijoin_preds in sys.col_usage$??

Has anyone attempted better indexing methodology based on this table? We have got a bit of re-engineering going on and came to this table when analyzing index usage.

TIA
