Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Indentifying Redundant Indexes
Dear List,
Firstly - Merry Christmas to those who have not already departed for the holiday season.
I'm currently doing some investigation based around indexes and would like everyone's opinion: What is everyone's preferred approach to identify redundant (as in "never used by Oracle") indexes? I believe Oracle 9 might have a feature to set a flag on objects and then check back later to see if they have been accessed however we're still stuck on 8.1.7.4 (Solaris). Some of my thoughts include:
Obviously we are searching for indexes to remove and identifying those which aren't queried over a set period of time would be good candidates for a starting point. Any advice you might have would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Mark.
