合理的为数据库表上创建战略性索引，可以极大程度的提高了查询性能。但事实上日常中我们所创建的索引并非战略性索引，，恰恰是大量冗余或是根本没有用到的索引耗用了大量的存储空间，导致DML性能低下。Oracle 提供了索引监控特性来初略判断未使用到的索引。本文描述如何使用Oracle 索引的监控。
1、冗余索引的弊端
大量冗余和无用的索引导致整个数据库性能低下，耗用了大量的CPU与I/O开销，具体表现如下:
a、耗用大量的存储空间(索引段的维护与管理)
b、增加了DML完成的时间
c、耗用大量统计信息(索引)收集的时间
d、结构性验证时间
f、增加了恢复所需的时间
2、单个索引监控
a、对于单个索引的监控，可以使用下面的命令来完成
alter index monitoring usage;
b、关闭索引监控
alter index nomonitoring usage;
c、观察监控结果(查询v$object_usage视图)
select * from v$object_usage
3、schema级别索引监控(不含SYS用户)
a、直接执行脚本来开启索引监控
robin@SZDB:~/dba_scripts/custom/sql> more idx_monitor_on.sql
SET HEADING OFF FEEDBACK OFF TERMOUT OFF ECHO OFF;
SET PAGESIZE 0;
SPOOL /tmp/mnt_idx.sql
SELECT ‘ALTER INDEX ‘ || owner || ‘.’ || index_name || ‘ MONITORING USAGE;’
FROM dba_indexes
WHERE owner IN (SELECT username
FROM dba_users
WHERE account_status = ‘OPEN’)
AND owner NOT IN (‘SYS’, ‘SYSTEM’, ‘PERFSTAT’, ‘MGMT_VIEW’, ‘MONITOR’, ‘SYSMAN’, ‘DBSNMP’);
SPOOL OFF;
@/tmp/mnt_idx.sql;
SET HEADING ON FEEDBACK ON TERMOUT ON;
SET PAGESIZE 80;
SELECT index_name,
monitoring,
used,
start_monitoring,
end_monitoring
FROM v$object_usage;
ho rm -rf /tmp/mnt_idx.sql
b、禁用索引监控
robin@SZDB:~/dba_scripts/custom/sql> more idx_monitor_off.sql
SET HEADING OFF FEEDBACK OFF TERMOUT OFF ECHO OFF;
SET PAGESIZE 0;
SPOOL /tmp/un_mnt_idx.sql
SELECT ‘ALTER INDEX ‘ || owner || ‘.’ || index_name || ‘ NOMONITORING USAGE;’
FROM dba_indexes
WHERE owner IN (SELECT username
FROM dba_users
WHERE account_status = ‘OPEN’)
AND owner NOT IN (‘SYS’, ‘SYSTEM’, ‘PERFSTAT’, ‘MGMT_VIEW’, ‘MONITOR’, ‘SYSMAN’, ‘DBSNMP’);
SPOOL OFF;
@/tmp/un_mnt_idx.sql;
SET HEADING ON FEEDBACK ON TERMOUT ON;
SET PAGESIZE 80;

SELECT index_name,
monitoring,
used,
start_monitoring,
end_monitoring
FROM v$object_usage;
ho rm -rf /tmp/un_mnt_idx.sql
c、查看索引监控结果
set linesize 190
SELECT u.name owner,
io.name index_name,
t.name table_name,
DECODE (BITAND (i.flags, 65536), 0, ‘NO’, ‘YES’) monitoring,
DECODE (BITAND (ou.flags, 1), 0, ‘NO’, ‘YES’) used,
ou.start_monitoring start_monitoring,
ou.end_monitoring end_monitoring
FROM sys.user$ u,
sys.obj$ io,
sys.obj$ t,
sys.ind$ i,
sys.object_usage ou
WHERE i.obj# = ou.obj# AND io.obj# = ou.obj# AND t.obj# = i.bo# AND u.user# = io.owner#
AND u.name=decode(upper(‘&input_owner’),’ALL’,u.name,upper(‘&input_owner’));
