STATUS

VARCHAR2(8)

Indicates whether a nonpartitioned index is VALID or UNUSABLE

Creating an Unusable Index

When you create an index in the UNUSABLE state, it is ignored by the optimizer and is not maintained by DML. An unusable index must be rebuilt, or dropped and re-created, before it can be used.

If the index is partitioned, then all index partitions are marked UNUSABLE.

Beginning with Oracle Database 11g Release 2, the database does not create an index segment when creating an unusable index.

The following procedure illustrates how to create unusable indexes and query the database for details about the index.

To create an unusable index: 

1. If necessary, create the table to be indexed.

   For example, create a hash-partitioned table called hr.employees_part as follows:

   sh@PROD> CONNECT hr

   Enter password: **

   Connected.

    

   hr@PROD> CREATE TABLE employees_part

     2    PARTITION BY HASH (employee_id) PARTITIONS 2

     3    AS SELECT * FROM employees;

    

   Table created.

    

   hr@PROD> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM employees_part;

    

     COUNT(*)

   ----------

          107

2. Create an index with the keyword UNUSABLE.

   The following example creates a locally partitioned index on employees_part, naming the index partitions p1_i_emp_ename and p2_i_emp_ename, and makingp1_i_emp_ename unusable:

   hr@PROD> CREATE INDEX i_emp_ename ON employees_part (employee_id)

     2    LOCAL (PARTITION p1_i_emp_ename UNUSABLE, PARTITION p2_i_emp_ename);

    

   Index created.

3. Optionally, verify that the index is unusable by querying the data dictionary.

   The following example queries the status of index i_emp_ename and its two partitions, showing that only partition p2_i_emp_ename is unusable:

   hr@PROD> SELECT INDEX_NAME AS "INDEX OR PARTITION NAME", STATUS

     2  FROM   USER_INDEXES

     3  WHERE  INDEX_NAME = 'I_EMP_ENAME'

     4  UNION ALL

     5  SELECT PARTITION_NAME AS "INDEX OR PARTITION NAME", STATUS

     6  FROM   USER_IND_PARTITIONS

     7  WHERE  PARTITION_NAME LIKE '%I_EMP_ENAME%';

    

   INDEX OR PARTITION NAME        STATUS

   ------------------------------ --------

   I_EMP_ENAME                    N/A

   P1_I_EMP_ENAME                 UNUSABLE

   P2_I_EMP_ENAME                 USABLE

4. Optionally, query the data dictionary to determine whether storage exists for the partitions.

   For example, the following query shows that only index partition p2_i_emp_ename occupies a segment. Because you created p1_i_emp_ename as unusable, the database did not allocate a segment for it.

   hr@PROD> COL PARTITION_NAME FORMAT a14

   hr@PROD> COL SEG_CREATED FORMAT a11

   hr@PROD> SELECT p.PARTITION_NAME, p.STATUS AS "PART_STATUS",

     2         p.SEGMENT_CREATED AS "SEG_CREATED",  

     3  FROM   USER_IND_PARTITIONS p, USER_SEGMENTS s

     4  WHERE  s.SEGMENT_NAME = 'I_EMP_ENAME';

    

   PARTITION_NAME PART_STA SEG_CREATED

   -------------- -------- -----------

   P2_I_EMP_ENAME USABLE   YES      

   P1_I_EMP_ENAME UNUSABLE NO
