Regarding Index Usage

AB312062Mar 26 2013 — edited Mar 27 2013
Hi

I have some doubts regarding Indexes:

1. What is the difference between the below 2 index usage scenarios:
/*+ index(a index_name) parallel(a,4)*/
/*+ parallel_index(a,index_name,4)*/

Are both these same?

2. What is full index scan and fast full index scan?

3. I have a table created in database and it has a few indexes on some columns. How can I check whether the index is Bitmap or B-Tree ?


Thanks
AB
