Database system perfor-
mance is a top concern
in today’s world, where
access and activity are driven by the pro-

computing devices as well as PCs. Expert
Indexing in Oracle Database 11g focuses on
the one database structure at the heart of
almost all performance issues: the index.
In one compact reference volume, the book
outlines the different types of indexes avail-
able in Oracle Database 11g and explains
the circumstances in which each type of
index is best applied. It also helps devel-
opers recognize when queries aren’t using
indices as the developer intended, and it
explains in detail how to manage indexing
for maximum performance.
