并不是因为完全为空的条目不被记录到索引中，就坚决不能使用空值，相反，有时候合理使用oracle的空值会为我们的查询带来几倍甚至几十倍的效率提高。
举个例子，加入有一个表，里面有个字段是“处理时间”，如果没有处理的事务，该列就为空，并且在大部分情况下，处理的事务总是在总记录数的10％或者更少，而等待处理的记录（“处理时间”这列为空）总是绝大多数的记录，那么在“等待时间”这列上建立索引，索引中就总是会保存很少的记录，我们希望的访问方式是，当访问表中所有代处理的记录（即10％或者更多的记录数目）时，我们希望通过全表扫描的方式来检索；然而，当我们希望访问已经处理的事务（即5％或者更少的记录数目）时，我们希望通过索引来访问，因为索引中的记录数目很少，请看下面的例子：
SQL> create table tt as select * from sys.dba_objects;
Table created
Executed in 0.601 seconds
SQL> alter table tt add (t int);
Table altered
Executed in 0.061 seconds
SQL> select count(*) from tt;
COUNT(*)
----------
6131c
Executed in 0.01 seconds
SQL> UPDATE tt set t=1 where owner='DEMO';
10 rows updated
Executed in 0.03 seconds
SQL> COMMIT;
Commit complete
Executed in 0 seconds
SQL> select count(*) from tt where OWNER='DEMO';
COUNT(*)
----------
10 ――――――――――――――已经处理的数目
Executed in 0.08 seconds
s
SQL> select count(*) from tt;
COUNT(*)
----------
6131 ――――――――――――――总记录数目
Executed in 0.01 seconds
下面的查询因为访问表中的大多数记录（代处理的记录，即10％以上的记录数目），可以看见，它如我们所希望的那样使用了全表扫描：
select object_name from tt where t is null;
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost |
--------------------------------------------------------------------
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | | | |
|* 1 | TABLE ACCESS FULL | TT | | | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
---------------------------------------------------
1 - filter("TT"."T" IS NULL)
Note: rule based optimization
14 rows selected
Executed in 0.05 seconds
下面的查询因为要访问表中的少数记录，我们希望通过索引来访问：
select object_name from tt where t=1;
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost |
--------------------------------------------------------------------
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | | | |
|* 1 | TABLE ACCESS FULL | TT | | | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
---------------------------------------------------
1 - filter("TT"."T"=1)
Note: rule based optimization
14 rows selected
Executed in 0.06 seconds
请注意，这里并没有如我们所希望的那样使用索引，而是使用了全表扫描，这里有一个结论：
建立了索引后，要想在CBO下合理的使用索引，一定要定期的更新统计信息
下面我们分析一下索引，看看有什么效果：
SQL> analyze index tt_idx validate structure;
Index analyzed
Executed in 0 seconds
SQL> select lf_rows from index_stats;
LF_ROWS
----------
10 ――――――――――索引中总共有10行
Executed in 0.05 seconds
SQL> exec dbms_stats.gather_index_stats('DEMO','TT_IDX');
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed
Executed in 0.03 seconds
SQL> SELECT DISTINCT_KEYS FROM USER_INDEXES;
DISTINCT_KEYS
-------------
1 ――――――――――只有一个键值
Executed in 0.05 seconds
SQL> select * from tt where t is null;
