函数索引是Oracle索引中比较特殊的，我们这里讨论函数索引中部分行索引的使用。
部分行索引顾名思义仅就表中的一部分记录做索引，请看代码示例:
drop table test;
create table test (t1 int, t2 char(1));
declare
i int :=0;
begin
while i<100000
loop
insert into test values( i, ‘N’);
i:=i+1;
commit;
end loop;
end;
在test表上插入大量t2为N的行，并插入少量t2为Y的行
create index ind_t2y on test( case t2 when ‘Y’ then t2 end);
SQL> select count(*) from test;
COUNT(*)
———-
100004
表上供有100004条数据
SQL> select count(*) from test where t2=’Y’;
COUNT(*)
———-
4
为t2列为’Y’的共有4条。
我们来分析该索引：
SQL> analyze index ind_t2y validate structure;
索引已分析
SQL> select lf_rows from index_stats;
LF_ROWS
———-
4
可以看到确实仅记录了4条记录。
我们尝试利用此部分行索引:
SQL> set autotrace on;
SQL> select count(*) from test where t2=’Y’;
COUNT(*)
———-
4

没有如预期地使用索引，我们加上hint 再试试
SQL> select /*+ index(test ind_t2y) */ count(*) from test where t2=’Y’;
COUNT(*)

4

在使用部分行索引的情况下逻辑读大大下降了。
在不加hint的情况下优化器似乎永远无法做出正确的选择，即便修改了CBO相关的参数：
SQL> alter system set optimizer_index_cost_adj=1;
System altered.
SQL> select t2 from test where t2=’Y’;
T
–
Y
Y
Y

|* 1 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| TEST | 2 | 6 | 43 (12)| 00:00:01 |
————————————————————————–
仅在where 子句中指定了case when then模式时，优化器自觉地使用了该部分行索引：
SQL> select * from test where case t2 when ‘Y’ then t2 end =’Y’;
T1 T
———- –
100001 Y
100002 Y
100003 Y

部分行索引在特定情况下(譬如某表中仅少数特定行有大量查询更新操作)可以发挥非常巨大的作用。
