Query

A. Tables accessible to the current user

select ind.table_owner || '.' || ind.table_name as "TABLE",
       ind.index_name,
       LISTAGG(ind_col.column_name, ',')
            WITHIN GROUP(order by ind_col.column_position) as columns,
       ind.index_type,
       ind.uniqueness
from sys.all_indexes ind
join sys.all_ind_columns ind_col
           on ind.owner = ind_col.index_owner
           and ind.index_name = ind_col.index_name
where ind.table_owner not in ('ANONYMOUS','CTXSYS','DBSNMP','EXFSYS',
       'MDSYS', 'MGMT_VIEW','OLAPSYS','OWBSYS','ORDPLUGINS', 'ORDSYS',

B. If you have privilege on dba_indexes and dba_ind_columns

select ind.table_owner || '.' || ind.table_name as "TABLE",
       ind.index_name,
       LISTAGG(ind_col.column_name, ',')
            WITHIN GROUP(order by ind_col.column_position) as columns,

       ind.uniqueness
from sys.dba_indexes ind
join sys.dba_ind_columns ind_col
           on ind.owner = ind_col.index_owner
           and ind.index_name = ind_col.index_name
where ind.table_owner not in ('ANONYMOUS','CTXSYS','DBSNMP','EXFSYS',

group by ind.table_owner,

         ind.index_name,
         ind.index_type,
         ind.uniqueness 
order by ind.table_owner,
         ind.table_name;

Columns

  • table - name of table index is defined for
  • index_name - index name

  • index_type - index type. Possible values:
    • NORMAL
    • BITMAP
    • FUNCTION-BASED NORMAL
    • FUNCTION-BASED BITMAP
    • DOMAIN
  • uniqueness - column indicating whether the index is unique or not

Rows

  • One row represents one index
  • Scope of rows:(A) all indexes, along with their columns, on a table (accessible to the current user) in Oracle database, (B) all indexes, along with their columns, on a table in Oracle database
  • Ordered by schema name and table name
