ALL_INDEXES
describes the indexes on the tables accessible to the current user. To gather statistics for this view and the related views DBA_INDEXES
and USER_INDEXES
, use the SQL ANALYZE
statement.
DBA_INDEXES
describes all indexes in the database.
USER_INDEXES
describes the indexes owned by the current user. This view does not display the OWNER
column.
Note:
Column names followed by an asterisk are populated only if you collect statistics on the index using theANALYZE
statement or the DBMS_STATS
