Executive Summary
The DBA Index Columns report provides a detailed view of database indexes, specifically focusing on the column order. The order of columns in a composite index is critical for performance: an index on (A, B) is very different from an index on (B, A). This report helps DBAs and developers verify that indexes support their query patterns.
Business Challenge
- Query Tuning: “I have an index on
(STATUS, CREATION_DATE), but the query onCREATION_DATEis still doing a full table scan. Why?” (BecauseSTATUSis the leading column). - Redundancy Check: “Do we have duplicate indexes? (e.g., one on
Aand another on(A, B))”. - Design Verification: “Did the migration tool preserve the correct column ordering?”
Solution
This report joins DBA_INDEXES with DBA_IND_COLUMNS.
Key Features:
- Column Position: Shows the exact order of columns (1, 2, 3…).
- Uniqueness: Indicates if the index enforces a unique constraint.
- Function-Based Indexes: Shows the expression used (e.g.,
UPPER(USER_NAME)).
Architecture
The report queries DBA_INDEXES and DBA_IND_COLUMNS.
Key Tables:
DBA_INDEXES: Index header information.DBA_IND_COLUMNS: Column details.
Impact
- Performance Optimization: Ensuring the “leading column” matches the query predicates is the #1 rule of indexing.
- Storage Savings: Identifying and dropping redundant indexes saves disk space and reduces overhead on INSERT/UPDATE.
- Schema Integrity: Verifies that unique constraints are properly backed by indexes.
Oracle E-Business Suite Reporting Library
We provide an open source Oracle EBS SQLs as a part of operational and project implementation support toolkits for rapid Excel reports generation.
Blitz Report™ is based on Oracle EBS forms technology, and hence requires minimal training. There are no data or performance limitations since the output files are created directly from the database without going through intermediate file formats such as XML.
Blitz Report can be used as BI Publisher and Oracle Discoverer replacement tool. Standard Oracle BI Publisher and Discoverer reports can also be imported into Blitz Report for immediate output to Excel. Typically, reports can be created and version tracked within hours instead of days. The concurrent request output automatically opens upon completion without the need for re-formatting.
The Filters, Columns, Rows and Values fields are used to create and deliver the data in pivot table format with full drill down to details.

The Excel template upload functionality in Blitz Report allows users to create their own layouts by uploading an Excel template with additional sheets and charts, automatically refreshed when the report runs again. This allows to create custom dashboards and more advanced visualizations of report data.

You can download and use Blitz Report free of charge for your first 30 reports.
The installation and implementation process usually takes less than 1 hour; you can refer to our installation and user guides for specific details.
