Oracle提供了索引监控特性来判断索引是否被使用。在Oracle 10g中，收集统计信息会使得索引被监控，在Oracle 11g中该现象不复存在。尽管如此，该方式仅提供的是索引是否被使用。索引被使用的频率未能得以体现。下面的脚本将得到索引的使用率，可以很好的度量索引的使用情况以及根据这个值来判断当前的这些索引是否可以被移除或改进。

2、结果分析与建议

a、上面的结果列出了当前数据库中schema为GOEX_ADMIN且索引大小大于100MB的索引的使用频率。

b、由于当前的数据库为标准版，没有分区表功能，所以可以看到很多arc结尾的表，且索引很大，如ACC_POS_STOCK_TBL_ARC上索引达到19G。

c、表ACC_POS_CASH_PL_TBL_ARC上的主键PK_ACC_POS_CASH_PL_ARCH_TBL上范围扫描最多，总计被使用次数为112次。

d、对于上述列出的被使用的次数为0的那些索引，应考虑索引的设置是否合理。

e、过大的索引应考虑能否使用索引压缩。

f、最后列出的是报告的schema名称以及索引大小的过滤条件、索引被收集的日期。注，索引列的大小sum求和有些不准确。

3、获得索引使用频率脚本

4、补充说明

脚本使用了2个替代变量，一个是schema，一个是索引的大小。缺省情况下，对于那些较小的索引以及仅仅运行一至两次的sql语句的历史执行计划不会被收集到DBA_HIST_SQL_PLAN。因此执行脚本时索引大小输入的建议值是100。如果需要收集所有的历史sql执行计划来判断索引是否被使用，需要修改statistics_level为all或者修改snapshot的收集策略。收集策略对系统性能有一定的影响，以及耗用大量磁盘空间，因此Prod环境应慎用(UAT和DEV则无妨)。
