2.225 ALL_INDEXES

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 DBMS_STATS package.

Related Views

  • 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 the DBMS_STATS package.

INCLUDE_COLUMN

NUMBER

Column ID of the last column to be included in index-organized table primary key (non-overflow) index. This column maps to the COLUMN_ID column of the *_TAB_COLUMNS view.

FREELISTS

NUMBER

Number of process freelists allocated to this segment

FREELIST_GROUPS

NUMBER

Number of freelist groups allocated to this segment

PCT_FREE

NUMBER

Minimum percentage of free space in a block

LOGGING

VARCHAR2(3)

Indicates whether or not changes to the index are logged:

  • YES

  • NO

BLEVEL*

NUMBER

B*-Tree level (depth of the index from its root block to its leaf blocks). A depth of 0 indicates that the root block and leaf block are the same.

LEAF_BLOCKS*

NUMBER

Number of leaf blocks in the index

DISTINCT_KEYS*

NUMBER

Number of distinct indexed values. For indexes that enforce UNIQUE and PRIMARY KEY constraints, this value is the same as the number of rows in the table (*_TABLES.NUM_ROWS)

AVG_LEAF_BLOCKS_PER_KEY*

NUMBER

Average number of leaf blocks in which each distinct value in the index appears, rounded to the nearest integer. For indexes that enforce UNIQUE and PRIMARY KEY constraints, this value is always 1.

AVG_DATA_BLOCKS_PER_KEY*

NUMBER

Average number of data blocks in the table that are pointed to by a distinct value in the index rounded to the nearest integer. This statistic is the average number of data blocks that contain rows that contain a given value for the indexed columns.

CLUSTERING_FACTOR*

NUMBER

Indicates the amount of order of the rows in the table based on the values of the index.

  • If the value is near the number of blocks, then the table is very well ordered. In this case, the index entries in a single leaf block tend to point to rows in the same data blocks.

  • If the value is near the number of rows, then the table is very randomly ordered. In this case, it is unlikely that index entries in the same leaf block point to rows in the same data blocks.

For bitmap indexes, this column is not applicable.

STATUS

VARCHAR2(8)

Indicates whether a nonpartitioned index is VALID or UNUSABLE

NUM_ROWS

NUMBER

Number of rows in the index.

For bitmap indexes, this column is the number of distinct keys, so its value is the same as the DISTINCT_KEYS column.

SAMPLE_SIZE

NUMBER

Size of the sample used to analyze the index

DATE

Date on which this index was most recently analyzed

IOT_REDUNDANT_PKEY_ELIM

VARCHAR2(3)

Indicates whether redundant primary key columns are eliminated from secondary indexes on index-organized tables (YES) or not (NO)

DROPPED

VARCHAR2(3)

Indicates whether the index has been dropped and is in the recycle bin (YES) or not (NO); NULL for partitioned tables

ORPHANED_ENTRIES

VARCHAR2(3)

Indicates whether a global index contains stale entries because of deferred index maintenance during DROP/TRUNCATE PARTITION, or MODIFY PARTITION INDEXING OFF operations.

Possible values:

  • YES - The index contains orphaned entries

  • NO - The index does not contain orphaned entries

INDEXING

VARCHAR2(7)

Indicates whether a global index is decoupled from the underlying table.

Possible values:

  • PARTIAL - The index is partial, that is, it will follow the table's indexing property.

  • FULL - The index will include all partitions of the table.
