Toad
Indexes
In the list of indexes, "101" icons are BITMAP indexes, Yellow Square + Red
Triangle + Blue Circle icons indicate UNIQUE indexes (vs. non unique), and
"f ( )" indicates function-based indexes.
Remember, the icon legend button displays what each icon represents.
In addition to the basic create, modify, and drop buttons, the panel includes the following.
The Create Script button copies the Create Index script of the selected index to the clipboard.
The Rebuild Index button lets you rebuild a table index. Indexes need to be periodically rebuilt in order to improve query performance.
Refer to Toad Help for more information about the Rebuild Index window.
The Analyze Index button lets you collect statistics on the selected index so that COST based query optimization can be used. So, the optimizer can run better queries.
The Filters Indexes List button invokes the Browser Filters window that lets you filter Index Names and Table Names.
The details panel tabs include Column, Partitions, and Script.
Constraints
The Constraints tab displays the constraints in the objects panel.
You can enable/disable constraints. When you disable constraints, if any of the constraints you have selected to disable have dependencies, an Oracle error message will display stating that you cannot disable constraints that have dependencies. A red X displays next to disabled constraints in the objects list.
The Constraints Filter button invokes a Browser Filter dialog window for constraints.
The details panel provides information about the selected constraint including its type, status, table and owner.
