How To Create a Single Index for Multiple Columns
How To Create a Single Index for Multiple Columns? - Oracle DBA FAQ - Managing Oracle Table Indexes

If you know a group of multiple columns will be always used together as search criteria, you should create a single index for that group of columns with the "ON table_name(col1, col2, ...)" clause. Here is an example of one index for two columns:
CREATE TABLE student (id NUMBER(5) PRIMARY KEY, first_name VARCHAR(80) NOT NULL, last_name VARCHAR(80) NOT NULL, birth_date DATE NOT NULL, social_number VARCHAR(80) UNIQUE NOT NULL); Table created. CREATE INDEX student_names ON student(first_name,last_name); Index created. SELECT index_name, table_name, uniqueness FROM USER_INDEXES WHERE table_name = 'STUDENT'; INDEX_NAME TABLE_NAME UNIQUENES ----------------------- --------------------- --------- SYS_C004123 STUDENT UNIQUE SYS_C004124 STUDENT UNIQUE STUDENT_NAMES STUDENT NONUNIQUE SELECT index_name, table_name, column_name FROM USER_IND_COLUMNS WHERE table_name = 'STUDENT'; INDEX_NAME TABLE_NAME COLUMN_NAME -------------------- ---------------- ---------------- SYS_C004135 STUDENT ID SYS_C004136 STUDENT SOCIAL_NUMBER STUDENT_NAMES STUDENT FIRST_NAME STUDENT_NAMES STUDENT LAST_NAME
The USER_IND_COLUMNS view confirms that index STUDEND_NAMES has two columns FIRST_NAME and LAST_NAME.
