oracle的约束隐式创建索引和先索引后约束的区别

两种情况：
1.对于创建约束时隐式创建的索引，在做删除操作的时候: 9i~11g都会连带删除该索引

2.对于先创建索引，再创建约束（使用到此索引）这种情况:
9i版本：需要区分索引是否唯一：
如果索引是唯一的，则删除约束的时候，会连带删除索引；如果非唯一的，则不会删除索引。
10g以后版本，包括11g：无论索引是否唯一，都只是删除约束，索引不会删除。

参考metalink文档：309821.1

实验验证下

先创建的索引，无论是否是unique索引，都不会随约束删除而被删除
SQL> create table test(a number );

Table created.

SQL> create index ind on test ( a );

Index created.

SQL> alter table test add constraint c1_pk primary key(a) using index;

Table altered.

SQL> select index_name from user_indexes where table_name=‘TEST‘;

INDEX_NAME
------------------------------
IND

SQL> alter table test drop constraint c1_pk;

Table altered.

SQL> select index_name from user_indexes where table_name=‘TEST‘;

INDEX_NAME
------------------------------
IND

SQL> drop index IND ;

Index dropped.

SQL> create unique index ind2 on test ( a );

Index created.

SQL> alter table test add constraint c2_pk primary key(a) using index;

Table altered.

SQL> alter table test drop constraint c2_pk;

Table altered.

SQL> select index_name from user_indexes where table_name=‘TEST‘;

INDEX_NAME
------------------------------
IND2

清理一下环境，删除索引，然后直接建约束，隐式创建索引，索引会因为约束被删除，而同时被删除
SQL> drop index ind2 ;

Index dropped.

SQL>
SQL>
SQL> alter table test add constraint c2_pk primary key(a) using index;

Table altered.

SQL> select index_name from user_indexes where table_name=‘TEST‘;

INDEX_NAME
------------------------------
C2_PK

SQL> alter table test drop constraint c2_pk;

Table altered.

SQL> select index_name from user_indexes where table_name=‘TEST‘;
