For
Index: NUK_TCONTRACT_TRD_DT Col#: 35
USING COMPOSITE STATS LVLS: 3 #LB: 402118 #DK: 80 LB/K: 5026.00 DB/K:52071.00 CLUF: 4165752.00 The Distinct Keys are only 80 and Leaf Blocks per Key is a very high 5,026. If the indexed column is a date are all the values inserted into the table as TRUNC(SYSDATE) ?
