Reverse key index won't help you in ORDER BY DESC, will it? AFAIK Reverse-key index will store 'Naveen' as 'neevaN' and 'Rich' as 'hciR' and so won't be helpful in ORDER BY DESC
Regards Naveen -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2002 8:58 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hey, Anyone have any advice on indexing SYS tables? Specifically, I've been experimenting with putting a reverse index on the TIMESTAMP# column of AUD$, since almost all of my queries against the AUD$ views end with "ORDER BY TIMESTAMP DESC". In 8.1.7.4.0 test DBs on HP/UX, the index -- created under a non-SYS DBA schema -- works great. I'm looking for pitfalls, but can't come up with any of my own... TIA!
