oracle一表有组合索引(A,B),是否还需要在建单索引A

CREATE INDEX employees_idx2 ON employees (job_id, last_name);

像这个复合索引,在select语句中,如果where子句中同时包括了job_id以及last_name,则会用到该索引.

oracle concepts有提到:
Composite Indexes

A composite index (also called a concatenated index) is an index that you create on multiple columns in a table. Columns in a composite index can appear in any order and need not be adjacent in the table.

Composite indexes can speed retrieval of data for SELECT statements in which the WHERE clause references all or the leading portion of the columns in the composite index. Therefore, the order of the columns used in the definition is important. Generally, the most commonly accessed or most selective columns go first.

如果一个 SELECT 语句的 WHERE 子句中引用了复合索引（composite index）的全部列（all of the column）或自首列开始且连续的部分列（leading portion of the column），将有助于提高此查询的性能。因此，索引定义中列的顺序是很重要的。大体上说，经常访问的列（most commonly accessed）或选择性较大的列（most selective）应该放在前面。
