EISCAN operator

This operator scans a user defined index to produce a reduced stream of rows.

Operator name: EISCAN

Represents: The scanning uses the multiple start/stop conditions from the user supplied range producer function.

This operation is performed to narrow down the set of qualifying rows before accessing the base table (based on predicates).

Performance Suggestion:
  • Over time, database updates can cause an index to become fragmented, resulting in more index pages than necessary. This can be corrected by dropping and recreating the index, or reorganizing the index.
  • If statistics are not current, update them using the RUNSTATS command.
