Subject: Re: Monitor Index Usage
Organization: Fat City Network Services, San Diego, California
X-ListServer: v1.0g, build 73; ListGuru (c) 1996-2003 Bruce A. Bergman
Precedence: bulk

Note that 9.2 has the nice family of v$segment_statistic views that can give
you this level of information very easily. It has advantages over
v$object_usage in that is gives you an indication on how often indexes are
used, rather than that they've been used.

Although sampling and other factors may impact their accuracy, those indexes
that have a very high ratio of logical reads to db block changes you know
are highly used for "legitimate" index accesses, those closer to a 2-1 ratio
are only being accessed mainly due to dml changes.

A bit of investigation and experimentation and these views can be very
useful.

Cheers

Richard
