Verification of index usage #

To verify that the new indexes are being used, run the following command: 

select * from sys.`x$schema_index_statistics` where index_name like 'AT_idx_%' ;

This will ouput the index statistics, and any index with a non-zero value for rows_selected is being used. Please note that index use is dependent on what SQL queries are being run, and it’s normal to see this vary with server size, usage variances, and changes from application patches and plugins.
