------------------------------------------------------------------------------1- Index Finding (see explain plans section below)
-------------------------------------------------The execution plan of this statement can be improved by creating one or more
indices.
Recommendation (estimated benefit: 100%)
---------------------------------------- Consider running the Access Advisor to improve the physical schema design
or creating the recommended index.
create index HR.IDX$$_0F7C0001 on HR.DEPARTMENTS('LOCATION_ID');
Rationale
--------Creating the recommended indices significantly improves the execution plan
of this statement. However, it might be preferable to run "Access Advisor"
using a representative SQL workload as opposed to a single statement. This
will allow to get comprehensive index recommendations which takes into
account index maintenance overhead and additional space consumption.
