Environment:
OS:Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.5 (Maipo)
DB:Oracle Database 19c Enterprise Edition Release 19.0.0.0.0-Production Version 19.3.0.0.0
Description:
Recently, looking at the new features of Oracle 19C, I found that the Auto Indexes feature is particularly useful. I'd like to see the effect.
1 check that the auto_index feature is not enabled
SQL > select * from dba_auto_index_config
2 the following error occurred while enabling Automatic Indexing Times, this feature is not supported:
SQL > alter session set container=cjcpdb
SQL > EXEC DBMS_AUTO_INDEX.CONFIGURE ('AUTO_INDEX_MODE','IMPLEMENT')
BEGIN DBMS_AUTO_INDEX.CONFIGURE ('AUTO_INDEX_MODE','IMPLEMENT'); END
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-40216: feature not supported
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 79
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_AUTO_INDEX_INTERNAL", line 9180
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_AUTO_INDEX", line 283
ORA-06512: at line 1
The cause of the problem:
The Auto Index feature is supported only on EXADATA systems systems.
Auto indexing will be allowed only in EXADATA systems, if not it will raise ORA-40216: feature not supported when we try it turn it on in non exadata systems.
