下面我們針對這個問題做一個試驗：

c:>sqlplus / as sysdba

sys@EOS >create table test as select table_name,to_timestamp(last_analyzed) date_test from dba_tables;

表已創(chuàng)建。

sys@EOS> create index idx_test_date on test (date_test);

索引已創(chuàng)建。

sys@EOS> desc test

名稱 是否為空? 類型

------------------------- -------- ----------------

TABLE_NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)

DATE_TEST TIMESTAMP(0)

sys@EOS> select date_test from test where date_test > TO_DATE('2007-11-5 00:00:00','yyyy-MM-dd HH24:mi:ss');

從上文中大家可以清楚地看到，timestamp>date情況下，走索引。

另外，date類型一般很少用，建議大家在產(chǎn)品里面所有的date數(shù)據(jù)類型全部改為timestamp。
