Bitmap indexes


What are bitmap indexes and how and why are they used?
 Bitmap indexes are used to enhance the join performance in STAT design. Don’t go by the myth of cardinality(Bitmaps are used on for lower cardinality.). It is a major component to enhance the joins between facts and dimension. It becomes more important if you are using Oracle propriety star_transformation_enabled=TRUE parameter in init.ora file.
