PLSQL_Indexing_Demo

The document outlines the process of creating a table named 'employees' and inserting sample data into it. It demonstrates search operations both with and without indexing, highlighting that searching without an index requires a full table scan, resulting in higher I/O costs and slower performance, while using an index significantly improves search efficiency. The document concludes with a summary comparing the two search methods.

PL/SQL Table Search with and without

Indexing
Step 1: Create Table

CREATE TABLE employees (


emp_id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY,
emp_name VARCHAR2(50),
department VARCHAR2(30),
salary NUMBER
);

Output:
Table EMPLOYEES created.

Step 2: Insert Sample Data

BEGIN
INSERT INTO employees VALUES (101, 'Alice', 'HR', 50000);
INSERT INTO employees VALUES (102, 'Bob', 'IT', 60000);
INSERT INTO employees VALUES (103, 'Charlie', 'Finance', 70000);
INSERT INTO employees VALUES (104, 'David', 'IT', 55000);
INSERT INTO employees VALUES (105, 'Eve', 'HR', 52000);
COMMIT;
END;
/

Output:
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Step 3: Search Operation (Without Index)


Query:
SELECT * FROM employees WHERE department = 'IT';

Query Output:

EMP_ID | EMP_NAME | DEPARTMENT | SALARY


-------+----------+------------+--------
102 | Bob | IT | 60000
104 | David | IT | 55000

Execution Plan (Full Table Scan):

----------------------------------------------------------
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Cost (%CPU)|
----------------------------------------------------------
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 2 | 5 (0)|
|* 1 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| EMPLOYEES | 2 | 5 (0)|
----------------------------------------------------------
Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
1 - filter("DEPARTMENT"='IT')

Statistics:

0 recursive calls
0 db block gets
5 consistent gets
0 physical reads
426 bytes sent via SQL*Net to client
382 bytes received via SQL*Net from client
2 rows processed

Step 4: Create Index


Query:
CREATE INDEX idx_department ON employees(department);

Output:
Index IDX_DEPARTMENT created.

Step 5: Search Operation (With Index)


Query:
SELECT * FROM employees WHERE department = 'IT';

Query Output:
EMP_ID | EMP_NAME | DEPARTMENT | SALARY
-------+----------+------------+--------
102 | Bob | IT | 60000
104 | David | IT | 55000

Execution Plan (Indexed Access):

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Cost (%CPU)| Time |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 2 | 2 (0)| 00:00:01 |
|* 1 | TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID| EMPLOYEES | 2 | 2 (0)| 00:00:01 |
|* 2 | INDEX RANGE SCAN | IDX_DEPARTMENT | 2 | 1 (0)| 00:00:01 |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
1 - filter("DEPARTMENT"='IT')
2 - access("DEPARTMENT"='IT')

Statistics:

0 recursive calls
0 db block gets
3 consistent gets
0 physical reads
2 rows processed

Summary

| Step | Operation | Access Method | I/O Cost | Performance |


|------|--------------------------|------------------------|----------|--------------|
| 3 | Search without index | Full Table Scan | Higher | Slower |
| 5 | Search with index | Index Range Scan + ROWID| Lower | Faster |
