Hi,

Thanks for the replies to this question. Looks like I need >= 8i or trawl
through the v$sqlarea either by spending money or writing a simple bit of
pl/sql.

Thanks,

Hi All,

A cheaper solution to this is to use an AFTER LOGON trigger to set
CREATE_STORED_OUTLINES to true. If the users have the CREATE ANY OUTLINE
system
privilege, you'll be able to see which indexes are being used in the
DBA_OUTLINE_HINTS view.

There is also one called The Big Picture - from Bit by Bit
www.bitbybit.co.uk - that scans all source, and SQL, and stores all
execution plans in a BDE database. It then scans through all the exectution
plans to determine whether an index is used or not.

It doesn't however tell you how many times the index has *actually* been
used..

There is commercial software for determining this.

www.teleran.com
www.pinecone.com

Both rather spendy.
