Oracle 11g 允许将索引标记为invisible. oracle像维护其他索引一样维护 invisible index ，但是默认invisible index不能被优化器使用，，除非显式设置 OPTIMIZER_USE_INVISIBLE_INDEXES=TRUE(可以alter system/session).可以在创建索引的时候指定 INVISIBLE关键字或 ALTER INDEX命令来invisible一个索引。
CREATE INDEX idx_name on table_name(column_name) INVISIBLE;
ALTER INDEX idx_name INVISIBLE;
ALTER INDEX idx_name VISIBLE;
demo:
SQL> create table ii_tab( id number);
Table created.
SQL> begin
for i in 1 .. 10000 loop
insert into ii_tab values (i);
end loop;
commit;
end;
/

SQL> create index ii_tab_id on ii_tab(id) invisible;
Index created.
SQL> exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(USER,'ii_tab',cascade=>TRUE);

SQL> set autotrace on

可以看到即使设置索引为invisible，当optimizer_use_invisible_indexes为true的时候 优化器仍然会走索引而非全表。
对比一下 ALTER INDEX ... UNUSABLE, 优化器不会使用UNUSABLE索引，需要 REBUILD
