Hi,

You have to monitor the index using
"alter index <index_name> monitoring usage;" and see the
V$object_usage view.

Read the example below and look for "used" column. If the index was
used
the column contains "YES".

In my first query, I used ename column in my where clause which is not
part of index but in second one, I used empno column which is part of
index.
SQL> conn scott/tiger;
Connected.
SQL> select * from tab;

TNAME TABTYPE CLUSTERID
------------------------------ ------- ----------
BONUS TABLE
DEPT TABLE
EMP TABLE
SALGRADE TABLE

SQL> select table_name,inde x_name from user_indexes;

TABLE_NAME INDEX_NAME
------------------------------ ------------------------------
DEPT PK_DEPT
EMP PK_EMP

SQL> select * from v$object_usage;

no rows selected

SQL> alter index PK_EMP monitoring usage;

Index altered.

SQL> select * from emp where ename='SCOTT';

EMPNO ENAME JOB MGR HIREDATE SAL

Index monitoring is only going to work if your version is at least 9i,
if I remember well.

Hi,

Yap, this will work only in 9i database.

Hello,
thanks for help!
Yes we use Oracle 9i.
Now we can look which index has already been used, but not, how often.
Is ther any way to get this information too.

thanks Heiko

To get a "ballpark" idea of how often an index is used, I'd
periodically take a look at the contents of the shared pool
during/after periods of high activity (hint for you: column
OBJECT_NAME of dynamic view V$SQL_PLAN).
