About Indexes. Indexes are optional structures associated with tables and clusters that allow SQL statements to execute more quickly against a table. Just as the index in this manual helps you locate information faster than if there were no index, an Oracle Database index provides a faster access path to table data.
There are two basic types of partitioned index. 1  Local - All index entries in a single partition will correspond to a single table partition (equipartitioned). They are created with the LOCAL keyword and support partition independance. 2  Global - Index in a single partition may correspond to multiple table partitions.
