8.4 V$INDEX_USAGE_INFO

V$INDEX_USAGE_INFO keeps track of index usage since the last flush. A flush occurs every 15 minutes. After each flush, ACTIVE_ELEM_COUNT is reset to 0 and LAST_FLUSH_TIME is updated to the current time.

Column Datatype Description

INDEX_STATS_ENABLED

NUMBER

Indicates whether the index usage statistics are enabled. Possible values:

  • 0: Index statistics are disabled

  • 1: Index statistics are enabled

INDEX_STATS_COLLECTION_TYPE

NUMBER

Indicates the type of collection used for the index usage statistics. Possible values:

  • 0: Indicates the ALL collection type. With this type of collection, the statistics are collected for each execution that has index access. Selecting this statistics collection type may have some impact on performance.

  • 1: Indicates the SAMPLED collection type. With this type of collection, the statistics are collected based on sampling (only a few of the executions are considered when collecting the statistics). This is the default statistics collection type.

    Index statistics collected with the SAMPLED collection type are less accurate than index statistics collected with the ALL collection type.
