Hi,
I have been given to optimize the indexes in a database.
There are some tables where I found there are about 6-8 columns as a composite primary key and all of them in clustered indexe. The tables are having around 10 millions data and are high on DML operations.
The table script is as below :-
CREATE TABLE ACDENODETAILS
(
  CUSTCUSTOMERCODE  VARCHAR2(12)           NOT NULL,
  ACCOUNTID         VARCHAR2(16)           NOT NULL,
  DNDENO            VARCHAR2(10)           NOT NULL,
  DNNOTES           VARCHAR2(10)           NOT NULL,
  COMPCODE          VARCHAR2(10)           NOT NULL,
  GENDATE           DATE                   NOT NULL,
  ACTDATE           DATE                   NOT NULL,
  CLCALLNO          NUMBER(5),
  CLOFFCD           VARCHAR2(6),
  CLCUSTCD          VARCHAR2(6),
  CLCUSTBRCD        VARCHAR2(6),
  CLACTCD           CHAR(1),
  USERID            VARCHAR2(6),
  TSACDENODETAILS   FLOAT(126),
  DEPOSLIPNO        VARCHAR2(20),
  CUSTREFDETAILS1   VARCHAR2(20),
  CUSTREFDETAILS2   VARCHAR2(20)
)


CREATE UNIQUE INDEX PK_ACDENODETAILS ON ACDENODETAILS

Some of them might look unique but I looked into and found they together make a unique record.



The records are such that a unique record is created on combination of the above columns. So the unique index is created and hence the primary key. The queries are performing slow so I have been given the task to look into the indexes but I am not sure what to do with them when they make a combination for the uniqueness.


Please help me on this as Clustered indexes shouldn't be on so many columns. It might be adding on the slowness...but not sure what to do when the constraint for uniqueness is also required.

Please advice.

> It might be adding on the slowness.
Or slowness might result from skewed data or other cause.

Without proof, only idle speculation.

Hey Blackswan,
Thanks for looking into this. This application is going slow since a long time...when there are more concurrent users. The queries are also getting optimized but can we do something for the indexes? Or we can have that number of columns in clustered index.

Inserts and deletes can become an expensive affair in case of clustered index, as data needs to be shuffled to stored physically sorted becoz in case of clustered indexes, table data is physically stored in order of keys

Please provide reproducible test cases.

Can you post an Explain Plan for some of the queries that are running slowly?
