Hi Jeromir,
I would be more specific specifying index hint:
select /*+ INDEX(t t_idx) */
x_id from t where d_id in
(1111,1112,1113,1114,1115);
Elapsed: 00:00:00.03
select /*+ INDEX(t t_idx) */
* from t where d_id in
(1111,1112,1113,1114,1115)
Elapsed: 00:00:00.06
It's not clear why Oracle chooses t_idx2 index full scan versus range scan on
t_idx when index explicitly not specified.
