根据我对Oracle documentation of skip scans的解读，当索引的第一列具有较少的唯一值时，跳过扫描最有用。问题是该列的第一个索引具有大量唯一身份。所以我认为跳过扫描是错误的做法是正确的吗？此外，应该进行什么样的扫描？我应该对此查询做一些暗示吗？
编辑：我还应该指出，查询的where子句使用IDX_MBR_IDENTFN中的列，而不包含该索引中的列。据我所知，我不会跳过任何专栏。
编辑2 ：我已经做了一些事情来加速这个查询。首先，我删除了分页。事实证明，此查询只返回一行。其次，我添加了一个LEADING提示，以确保以正确的顺序查询表。第三，我删除了重复的mbr_idn谓词。最后，我使IDX_MBR_IDENTFN独一无二。总而言之，这会大大提高性能（虽然它仍然是我运行的最昂贵的查询）：

答案 0 :(得分：6)
索引跳过扫描意味着忽略索引的第一列。由于Oracle已读取第一列的每个项目，并检查第二列（或第三列，...）列是否为您搜索的内容，因此会降低性能。这通常比全表扫描更快（取决于您的查询），但比索引范围扫描慢。
尝试在IDX_MBR_IDENTFN的一部分列上创建一个单独的索引并在查询中使用。
例如，如果your_table如下所示：
id status
1 0
2 0
3 0
4 1
并且(id, status)上有一个复合索引，查询Select * From your_table Where status = 1可能会使用索引，但为了找到正确的行，它必须读取索引的每一行（id 1至4）并查看status。
更新：以下索引可以进一步提高性能，但您必须尝试它是否真的有帮助：
mbr_identfn( identfd_type, identfd_number, entity_active, mbr_idn )
这甚至可以帮助避免提示。
答案 1 :(得分：6)
我会将注意力从跳过扫描中移开。
tkprof代码段显示您的首要任务应该是减少发出此声明的次数。目前您执行此语句9936次。每次执行只需要405/9936秒。合理快速。但如果执行9936次则不行。
所以这个陈述几乎可以肯定在循环结构中。在每次迭代中，您提供不同的输入参数集（：identfd_type_1，：identfd_number_1，：entity_active_1，：ROWNUM_1，：ora_rn_1）。重写此循环结构以使此语句对整个集合执行一次，并且您的性能问题可能是过去的事情。如果没有，请发布新的tkprof输出。
此致 罗布。
答案 2 :(得分：1)
如果您确定索引中的列（PK_CLAIMANT和IDX_MBR_IDENTFN）是什么以及按什么顺序排序，将会有所帮助。
我怀疑这是一个日期类型问题。例如，如果mbr_identfn.identfd_type是索引的前导列并且是数字，但是您的：identfd_type_1是字符变量（反之亦然），则它变得不可用。但是，如果类型很少，则索引可以与跳过扫描一起使用。
您还可以在where子句和join子句中指定谓词“mbr.mbr_idn = mbr_identfn.mbr_idn”。
答案 3 :(得分：1)
解释跳过扫描......这似乎是查询的相关谓词部分：
WHERE mbr_identfn.mbr_idn = mbr.mbr_idn
AND mbr_identfn.identfd_type = :identfd_type_1
AND mbr_identfn.identfd_number = :identfd_number_1
AND mbr_identfn.entity_active = :entity_active_1
如果执行以MBR_IDENTFN开头，那么我们还没有MBR_IDN的值来查找索引;这意味着我们无法进行独特或范围扫描。但是我们为索引的其他三列赋予了值（作为绑定变量），因此我们可以进行跳过扫描。 Oracle选择这样做是为了避免访问基表，这看起来很合理。
MBR_IDENTFN的主键是什么？是MBR_IDN吗？
我想你应该在MBR_IDENTFN上有一个单独的索引，其中部分或全部是IDENTFD_TYPE，IDENTFD_NUMBER和ENTITY_ACTIVE作为前导列。这将允许进行范围或唯一扫描而不是跳过扫描。
