Index will not be applied on the null values. Like if in a query i write

suppose i have the index on column_1 of table_1
and when i fire the query mentioned below

select * from table_1 where column_1 is null;

then index is not used.

for resolving it with some twiking, you can follow the link

I have a table named 'touchpoint' which contains about 20 millions of rows. I created a bitmap index on a column named 'reason_cd' which has 7 distinct values: 'IN', 'FR', 'OP', 'CM', 'SV', 'ME', and null. However, If you take a look at the explain plan for a script like this, The oracle choose to do full access which is unexpected. select * from touchpoint where reason_cd in ('OP', 'SV')

Is there any way I can define an Unique constraint or unique index which allows more than one null values for the same column combination in DB2? ie, If my index is defined on (col3, col4) where both columns allow nulls, I want col3 + col4 to be unique, if one or both the columns have values. If both columns have nulls, it should allow more than one such rows. ex,

Helpful folks, Most of my previous experience with DB2 was on s390 mainframe systems and the optimizer on this platform always seemed very predictable and consistent. Since moving to a WinNT/UDB 7.2 environment, the choices the optimizer makes often seem flaky. But this last example really floored me. I was hoping someone could explain why I get worse response time when the optimizer uses two indexes, than when it uses one. Some context:

I am creating an index on a column which is 40% NULLS. The process seems to run forever, though a count of the number of values runs in milliseconds. This leads to the subject question: is there a way to ignore those rows with nulls in index creation?
