v$segment_statistics will only give you a clue about your index use, after all, the index will have to be traversed for every insert, update, delete and RI check. This means you will see logical I/Os, even when no execution plans take advantage of the index.

Hi,

You might also want to check from v$segment_statistics whether anyone is actually using your indes (logical reads, segment scans) if your statistics level allows segment-level statistics gathering.
