Hello all,
How does Oracle decide which index to use, in a rule based world ?
I did read up on the tuning guid for RBO, but I have a wierd case
so here goes...
my where clause is as follows
where client = 50 and document_num = 100 and rownum < 2
there are two indexes
index a: client,company_code,posting_date,document_num (PK index)
index b: client,company_code,posting_docu,document_num
Oracle ends up using the primary key index. Now, I was under the impression that in RBO an index matching the WHERE predicate would be used ! Was I wrong or is there some logic to this?
