Index Fast Full Scan: goes to the first block of the segment, and does multi-block reads through the segment, picking up branch and leaf blocks, discarding the branches and using the data in the leaf blocks as if they were skinny tables. Does not return the data in order.It typically uses db file scattered reads to get data from disk

If fast full scans are troubling you in general, there is a hidden init.ora parameter to disable them "_fast_full_scan_enabled"=false.

However, I'd advise that you consult oracle support before setting this. Why is oracle thinking that FFS would be better over a min/max optimization:

One reason would probably be that the lastcolumn has a low cardinality. Thus oracle determines that a FFS on the index will be better since it needs to read a high % of the index anyway....

but remember that column (not null) can not use FFS

This is from doc. of oracle

Fast full index scans are an alternative to a full table scan when the index contains all the columns that are needed for the query, and at least one column in the index key has the NOT NULL constraint. A fast full scan accesses the data in the index itself, without accessing the table. It cannot be used to eliminate a sort operation, because the data is not ordered by the index key. It reads the entire index using multiblock reads, unlike a full index scan, and can be parallelized.

You can specify fast full index scans with the initialization parameter OPTIMIZER_FEATURES_ENABLE or the INDEX_FFS hint. Fast full index scans cannot be performed against bitmap indexes.

A fast full scan is faster than a normal full index scan in that it can use multiblock I/O and can be parallelized just like a table scan.
