Create Domain Index
A domain index increases the speed of equality queries on encrypted columns. After a table is migrated with column–level IVs in Oracle 9i or higher, domain indexes on the encrypted columns can be created.
Views and triggers are recreated when domain indexes are added or removed from a table.
When a column is unencrypted, the domain indexes are automatically removed.
Note
Domain indexes cannot be created on migrated columns with field-level IVs, large object datatypes, and columns which are migrated to large object datatypes.
