创建索引时使用nologging选项可以加快速度，节省时间，减少产生的日志量。

SQL> select count(*) from idx_test;

  COUNT(*)
----------
   1620416

Executed in 4.453 seconds

SQL> select value from v$sysstat t where name='redo size';

     VALUE
----------
 243558888

Executed in 0.015 seconds

SQL> create index idx_object_id on idx_test(object_id);

Index created

从上面实验可以看出，一个1620416条记录的表，在不使用nologging的情况下，创建索引耗时33.953 秒，产生redo 29777716 ,使用nologging后，耗时13.328 秒，产生redo 228052。效果还是比较明显。
