what are REALLY do ...

168.
212
SQL> create index LET_ME_GET_BACK_TO_SLEEP
2 on MY_PROBLEM_TABLE (

169.
214
what are MEANT to do ...

170.
215
1) extract candidate SQL statements
2) consider candidate indexes per SQL
3) consolidate overlaps
4) create invisible/unusable
5) check "virtual" explain plan

171.
216
6) create true index (as invisible)
7) test execute each SQL for benefit
8) decide on index benefit for each SQL
9) SPM to avoid regressions
10) make new indexes visible

172.
217
every
