Hi All,


        I would like to know when does dense index and
sparse index get built up in oracle. Are there any
expilict keywords for these index constructions?
I have read that dense index is faster with integer columns
and sparse index for varchar2 columns. Please clarify me.



Thanks in advance,


Ramesh
