Recreate the table to move the rows in the order of the index columns.

it is two ways
change clustering_factor of index for true,
so you need reorganise table ordering it by indexed column,

or you can put fake statistics and change clustering_factor value to another like that

begin

DBMS_STATS.SET_INDEX_STATS (

ownname  =>'SCOTT',

indname  => 'EMP_ENAME_I',

clstfct  => 100); -- NEW clustering factor value

end;

As suggested by others, there are multiple ways :

1. Re-organize the table to sort by way of Indexed Columns, and/or
2. Use dbms_stats to manually change the clustering factor of an Index.

With option 1, you can improve the CF of an Index, but then the impact on other indexes can cause performance issues as well.

For a Composite Index, if the CF is impacted due to the non-leading column, then there is a way to compute CF for the index on single column and then dbms_stats can be used to update the statistics.

Read http://viveklsharma.blogspot.com/2008/09/predicting-performance-impact-due-to.html for more info on this.

And just to point out

Quote:

#1 Will improve the actual clustering while #2 is just
changing a statistic, and will not change actual clustering.
