A - The only suggestion I've heard is to take the contents of V$SQL, perform EXPLAIN PLAN on all SQL, and try to build a list of indexes that are used. Hardly foolproof. I think Burleson has some scripts in his book Oracle High-Performance Tuning With STATSPACK, IIRC.

Hi,
I had sent this some time back but got no answer for version 8.1.7. For table I understand auditing is an option. What about for index? Thank You

Hi,

Is there an easy way to find out if a table or an index is being used. I mean short of going thru all code or keeping looking at v$sqlarea. I mean even if code is covered there are always ad hoc SQL queries etc. Same for other objects like views etc. Is there a place where oracle stores objects accessed and any other related info.

Thanks
