Creation of Indexes

Automatically: When a primary key or Unique constraint is show in a table definition then a unique index is formed automatically.

Manually: User can form non-unique indexes on columns to speed up access time to rows.

Example: The following commands produce index on employee name and employee name + department number respectively.

CREATE INDEX EMP_ENAME_IDX ON EMP (ENAME);

CREATE INDEX EMP_MULTI_IDX ON EMP (ENAME, DEPTNO);

Finding facts about created indexes: The data dictionary have the name of index, table name and column names. For instance, in Oracle a user-indexes and user-ind-columns see contains the details about user formed indexes.

Remove an index from the data dictionary:

DROP INDEX EMP_ENAME_IDX;

Indexes cannot be modified.
