How many different types of indexes we have in oracle?
Answer Posted / gnskannan
Indexes in Oracle are as follows.....
1.Normal index
Whenever we created a column(s) with Primary key or
Unique constraints ,Oracle implicitly creates Normal
index.This index is not Unique index .Why because those
columns already having uniqeness because of Unique or
Primary key constriants.
2.Bitmap indexs
3.Function based indexs
4.Domain indexes.
if we want to create Unique indexes we have to use Unique
keyword when we are creating indexes.
But if you refer Oracle 9i corporation books you can read
as follows...
They gave these statement in wrong.
Indexes can be created in two types
1.Unique indexes(Oracle creates it implicitly whenever we
created column(s) with PK or Unique constraints
2. Non unique indexes
This indexes can be created by developers
