索引系列八--索引特性之有序难优化union

----UNION 是需要排序的

drop table t1 purge;

create table t1 as select * from dba_objects where object_id is not null;

alter table t1 modify OBJECT_ID not null;

drop table t2 purge;

create table t2 as select * from dba_objects where object_id is not null;

alter table t2 modify OBJECT_ID not null;

set linesize 1000

set autotrace traceonly

select object_id from t1

union

select object_id from t2;

--发现索引无法消除UNION 排序（INDEX FAST FULL SCAN）

create index idx_t1_object_id on t1(object_id);

create index idx_t2_object_id on t2(object_id);

set autotrace traceonly

set linesize 1000

select  object_id from t1

union

select  object_id from t2;

--INDEX FULL SCAN的索引依然无法消除UNION排序

select object_id from t1

union

select  object_id from t2;

--结论：索引无法消除UNION 排序，一般来说在使用UNION时要确定必要性，在数据不会重复时只需UNION ALL即可。
