如何进行null与index的分析

这期内容当中小编将会给大家带来有关如何进行null与index的分析，文章内容丰富且以专业的角度为大家分析和叙述，阅读完这篇文章希望大家可以有所收获。

今天在测试过程中遇到一问题, sql该走Index的,没走. 加index hint也不行. 描述如下:

1. 建立测试表
create table t1
as
select object_id, object_name from dba_objects;



2. 在object_name列上建立b-tree index
create index idx_t1_name on t1(object_name);



3. 如果我是select object_name from t1, 按理说CBO应该会选择走Index scan. 但奇怪的是结果走的full table scan.
SQL> set autotrace trace exp
SQL> select object_name from t1;


Execution Plan

| 1 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| T1 | 50934 | 3282K| 57 (2)| 00:00:01 |

3. 使用index hint想强行走Index, 结果还是full table scan. 我就奇怪了. hint咋个不起做用呢? 郁闷.
SQL> select object_name from t1;


Execution Plan
----------------------------------------------------------
Plan hash value: 3617692013


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 50934 | 3282K| 57 (2)| 00:00:01 |
| 1 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| T1 | 50934 | 3282K| 57 (2)| 00:00:01 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


Note
-----
- dynamic sampling used for this statement




4. 偶然看了下表结构
SQL> desc t1
Name Null? Type
----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
OBJECT_ID NUMBER
OBJECT_NAME VARCHAR2(128)




NULL列引起我的注意. OBJECT_NAME可以为null !! 而在oracle中单个列上建b-tree Index, null是不会存进Index的( 复合索引可以, 只要整个Index columns不为null ). 那就是说如果有些行的object_name是null, 那走Index取值不是会丢掉object_name为null的行. 那如果我让object_name not null 呢?


SQL> alter table t1 modify object_name not null;


Table altered.


SQL> desc t1
Name Null? Type
----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
OBJECT_ID NUMBER
OBJECT_NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(128)




再试一试
SQL> select object_name from t1;


Execution Plan
----------------------------------------------------------
Plan hash value: 3617692013


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 50934 | 3282K| 57 (2)| 00:00:01 |
| 1 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| T1 | 50934 | 3282K| 57 (2)| 00:00:01 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


结果还是full table scan : (


试试用hint
SQL> select object_name from t1;


Execution Plan
---------------------------------------------------------- 
Plan hash value: 1352742509 


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 50934 | 3282K| 264 (1)| 00:00:04 |
| 1 | INDEX FULL SCAN | IDX_T1_NAME | 50934 | 3282K| 264 (1)| 00:00:04 |




这回hint 起作用了. 这说明并不是Hint失效, 只是满足走Index的条件一开始没有具备. 看来null是个潜在杀手, 得小心防范. 
现在强走index是ok了. 但, 是什么东西会影响CBO的判断不走Index呢? 想到统计信息可能会是原因之一, 于是查看了一下.


SQL> select index_name, LAST_ANALYZED from user_indexes;
INDEX_NAME LAST_ANALYZED 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------- 
IDX_T1_NAME 01-MAR-18




SQL> select table_name, LAST_ANALYZED from user_tables;


TABLE_NAME LAST_ANALYZED 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------- 
T1




看到刚建的表没有做过统计. 于是 Go to analyze table, 结果如下:


SQL> exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats('TEST','T1');


PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.


SQL> select table_name, LAST_ANALYZED from user_tables;


TABLE_NAME LAST_ANALYZED 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------- 
T1 01-MAR-18




再来看看执行结果有没有变化:
SQL> select object_name from t1;


Execution Plan
---------------------------------------------------------- 
Plan hash value: 222950081




------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time | 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 49917 | 1218K| 57 (2)| 00:00:01 | 
| 1 | INDEX FAST FULL SCAN| IDX_T1_NAME | 49917 | 1218K| 57 (2)| 00:00:01 | 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


这下终于走Index这条路老 : ) 在Index 中, key value是排序存放的. Index Fast full scan 它是按照block的存储顺序来读取数据, 并可以一次I/O多块读取提高效率( 参数 readdb_file_multiblock_read_count), 但返回的值是没有排序的. 而
Index full scan会按照Key value顺序读取值, 返回排了序的结果. 所以, 做个order by会是走Index full scan.


SQL> select object_name from t1 order by object_name;


Execution Plan
---------------------------------------------------------- 
Plan hash value: 1352742509

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time | 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 49917 | 1218K| 249 (1)| 00:00:03 | 
| 1 | INDEX FULL SCAN | IDX_T1_NAME | 49917 | 1218K| 249 (1)| 00:00:03 | 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

对于定义为NULL的列，创建位图索引可走索引
