Alter index coalesce VS shrink space

10g中引入了对索引的shrink功能,索引shrink操作会扫描索引的页块,并且通过归并当前存在的数据将先前已删除记录的空间重新利用;很多书籍亦或者MOS的Note中都会提及SHRINK命令与早期版本中就存在的COALESCE(合并)命令具有完全相同的功能,或者说2者是完全等价的-” alter index shrink space is equivalent to coalesce”,事实是这样的吗?

/* shrink space compact 起到了和coalesce完全相同的作用,但其产生的redo仍要多于coalesce于28% */

coalesce与shrink space命令对比重建索引(rebuild index)有一个显著的优点:不会导致索引降级。从以上测试可以看到coalesce与shrink space compact功能完全相同;在OLTP环境中,大多数情况下我们并不希望回收索引上的空闲空间,那么coalesce或者shrink space compact(not shrink space)可以成为我们很好的选择,虽然实际操作过程中2者消耗的资源有不少差别。

并不是说coalesce就一定会消耗更少的资源,这需要在您的实际环境中具体测试,合适的才是最好的!

    “index_stats”这是个视图?定义呢?

    • admin says

      一个临时的视图,只有在alter index index_name validate structure后会被填充,而且该视图的内容只对本会话可见

  2. Good Article! thanks.

  3. 什么是索引降级?为什么不导致索引降级是一个优点?
    求解惑,谢谢。

    • 索引降级 指索引的高度因为rebuild或其他操作而降低,例如本来高度是4 rebuild后变成3; 如果又有大并发的插入,会导致索引的高度再次上升到4,此时会需要等root根块的split,可能会出现index contention竞争等待。

  4. shrink space 与 shrink space compact区别就是一个真正释放空间一个不释放么?为什么会这样子?实现方法在本质上有什么不同呢?http://blog.csdn.net/zhou689689/article/details/9709263
