SQL> create table t(a number);
Table created.
现在，我们建立一个唯一索引来看看：
SQL> create unique index idx_t on t(a);
Index created.
SQL> select index_name,index_type,tablespace_name,table_type,status from user_indexes where index_name=@#T@#;
no rows selected
SQL> select index_name,index_type,tablespace_name,table_type,status from user_indexes where index_name=@#IDX_T@#;
INDEX_NAME INDEX_TYPE TABLESPACE_NAME TABLE_TYPE STATUS
------------------------------ --------------------------- ------------------------------ ----------- --------
IDX_T NORMAL DATA_DYNAMIC TABLE VALID
SQL> insert into t values(1);
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
将索引手工修改为unusable状态（模拟发生索引失效的情况）：
SQL> alter index idx_t unusable;
Index altered.
SQL> select index_name,index_type,tablespace_name,table_type,status from user_indexes where index_name=@#IDX_T@#;
INDEX_NAME INDEX_TYPE TABLESPACE_NAME TABLE_TYPE STATUS
------------------------------ --------------------------- ------------------------------ ----------- --------
IDX_T NORMAL DATA_DYNAMIC TABLE UNUSABLE
我们看到这是，已经不能正常往表中插入数据：
SQL> insert into t values(2);
insert into t values(2)
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01502: index @#MISC.IDX_T@# or partition of such index is in unusable state
首先，我们通过重建索引（rebuild index）的方法来解决问题：
SQL> alter index idx_t rebuild;
Index altered.
SQL> select index_name,index_type,tablespace_name,table_type,status from user_indexes where index_name=@#IDX_T@#;
INDEX_NAME INDEX_TYPE TABLESPACE_NAME TABLE_TYPE STATUS
------------------------------ --------------------------- ------------------------------ ----------- --------
IDX_T NORMAL DATA_DYNAMIC TABLE VALID
SQL> insert into t values(2);
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL>
现在我们再次模拟索引失效(unusable状态)：
SQL> alter index idx_t unusable;
Index altered.
SQL> select index_name,index_type,tablespace_name,table_type,status from user_indexes where index_name=@#IDX_T@#;
INDEX_NAME INDEX_TYPE TABLESPACE_NAME TABLE_TYPE STATUS
------------------------------ --------------------------- ------------------------------ ----------- --------
IDX_T NORMAL DATA_DYNAMIC TABLE UNUSABLE
SQL> insert into t values(3);
insert into t values(3)
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01502: index @#MISC.IDX_T@# or partition of such index is in unusable state
然后，看看是否可以通过设置参数skip_unusable_indexes=true来解决问题：
SQL> alter session set skip_unusable_indexes=true;
Session altered.
SQL> insert into t values(3);
insert into t values(3)
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01502: index @#MISC.IDX_T@# or partition of such index is in unusable state
SQL> select index_name,index_type,tablespace_name,table_type,status from user_indexes where index_name=@#IDX_T@#;
INDEX_NAME INDEX_TYPE TABLESPACE_NAME TABLE_TYPE STATUS
------------------------------ --------------------------- ------------------------------ ----------- --------
IDX_T NORMAL DATA_DYNAMIC TABLE UNUSABLE
SQL> alter index idx_t rebuild;
Index altered.
SQL> select index_name,index_type,tablespace_name,table_type,status from user_indexes where index_name=@#IDX_T@#;
INDEX_NAME INDEX_TYPE TABLESPACE_NAME TABLE_TYPE STATUS
------------------------------ --------------------------- ------------------------------ ----------- --------
IDX_T NORMAL DATA_DYNAMIC TABLE VALID
SQL> insert into t values(3);
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL>
很显然，对于unique index，通过简单的设置参数是不能解决问题的，要解决unique index 失效的问题，只能通过重建索引来实现。
