Abstract

Oracle8i Release 3 (8.1.7) introduced the CTXCAT type index, adding features such as transactional synchronization of an Oracle Text index and a more “web-like” set of search operators. The CTXCAT type index also supports better performance of mixed queries (queries that have an Oracle Text predicate to query a text column, and another predicate to query a structured data column). The mixed queries performance boost is made possible through the use of index sets (objects that hold sets of ordered lists of columns from the indexed table), which are specified in the PARAMETERS clause of a CREATE INDEX statement. This session presents a quick overview of Oracle Text and CONTEXT indexes, and then introduces index sets and mixed queries.
