为什么Oracle会忽略ORDER BY的索引? [英] Why is Oracle ignoring index with ORDER BY?

问题描述

我的目的是获得客户的分页结果集.我正在使用 Tom :

My intention is to obtain a paginated resultset of customers. I am using this algorithm, from Tom:

select * from (
  select /*+ FIRST_ROWS(20) */ FIRST_NAME, ROW_NUMBER() over (order by FIRST_NAME) RN
  from CUSTOMER C
)
where RN between 1 and 20
order by RN;

我还在客户"列上定义了一个索引."FIRST_NAME":

I also have an index defined on the column "CUSTOMER"."FIRST_NAME":

CREATE INDEX CUSTOMER_FIRST_NAME_TEST ON CUSTOMER (FIRST_NAME ASC);

该查询返回了预期的结果集，但是从说明计划中，我注意到未使用该索引:

The query returns the expected resultset, but from the explain plan I notice that the index is not used:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Id  | Operation                 | Name     | Rows  | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time     |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|   0 | SELECT STATEMENT          |          | 15467 |   679K|   157   (3)| 00:00:02 |
|   1 |  SORT ORDER BY            |          | 15467 |   679K|   157   (3)| 00:00:02 |
|*  2 |   VIEW                    |          | 15467 |   679K|   155   (2)| 00:00:02 |
|*  3 |    WINDOW SORT PUSHED RANK|          | 15467 |   151K|   155   (2)| 00:00:02 |
|   4 |     TABLE ACCESS FULL     | CUSTOMER | 15467 |   151K|   154   (1)| 00:00:02 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
---------------------------------------------------

   2 - filter("RN">=1 AND "RN"<=20)
   3 - filter(ROW_NUMBER() OVER ( ORDER BY "FIRST_NAME")<=20)

我正在使用Oracle 11g.由于我只查询按索引列排序的前20行，因此我希望使用索引.

I am using Oracle 11g. Since I just query for the first 20 rows, ordered by the indexed column, I would expect the index to be used.

为什么Oracle优化器忽略索引?我认为分页算法有问题，但是我不知道是什么.

Why is the Oracle optimizer ignoring the index? I assume it's something wrong with the pagination algorithm, but I can't figure out what.

谢谢.

推荐答案

您的FIRST_NAME列可能为空.

more than likely your FIRST_NAME column is nullable.

SQL> create table customer (first_name varchar2(20), last_name varchar2(20));

Table created.

SQL> insert into customer select dbms_random.string('U', 20), dbms_random.string('U', 20) from dual connect by level <= 100000;

100000 rows created.

SQL> create index c on customer(first_name);

Index created.

SQL> explain plan for select * from (
  2    select /*+ FIRST_ROWS(20) */ FIRST_NAME, ROW_NUMBER() over (order by FIRST_NAME) RN
  3    from CUSTOMER C
  4  )
  5  where RN between 1 and 20
  6  order by RN;

Explained.

在其中添加一个NOT NULL来解决它.

add a NOT NULL in there to resolve it.

SQL> explain plan for select * from (
  2    select /*+ FIRST_ROWS(20) */ FIRST_NAME, ROW_NUMBER() over (order by FIRST_NAME) RN
