Does Oracle have a filtered index concept?

Question

Similar to SQLServer where I can do the following

create index TimeSeriesPeriodSs1 on TimeSeriesPeriod (validationStatus, completionStatus)
where completionS         


        

Answer 1

You can create a function-based index in Oracle that leverages the fact that NULL values aren't stored in b-tree indexes. Something like

CREATE INDEX TimeSeriesPeriodSs1
    ON TimeSeriesPeriod( 
          (CASE WHEN completionStatus = 'Complete' AND validationStatus = 'Pending'
                THEN validationStatus
                ELSE NULL
            END),
          (CASE WHEN completionStatus = 'Complete' AND validationStatus = 'Pending'
                THEN completionStatus
                ELSE NULL
            END)
       );
