疑问？ Oracle普通的B树索引是升序还是降序？

疑问？ Oracle普通的B树索引是升序还是降序？

一、测试创建对象

SQL> create table a as select * from dba_objects;

Table created.

SQL> create index a_id on a(object_id);

Index created.

SQL> set autotrace on 

二、测试索引，观察执行计划

SQL> select object_name from a where object_id in(7788,7799) order by object_id desc;

可以发现，使用ASC时，执行计划无改变

使用DESC 时，执行计划存在

INDEX RANGE SCAN DESCENDING 索引范围降序扫描，因此本次实验证明，当默认排序方式创建索引时，索引数据使用升序排列。

那么问题来了，知道这个东西有啥用呢？
创建复合索引，并且业务SQL存在order by 的方式时！！！注意理解，或者SQL order by desc/asc 则创建复合索引列跟着 desc/asc也没毛病。
