Hello,

I have a fairly active and large DB.  I need to create a new index on a
column.  It will take (just guessing) 15-30 minutes for the entire creation.
I've got different people hittiing this table all the time, mostly with new
inserts (not really any updates).  My question is:

Can I create this new index without locking the table, or should I lock it?
Thanks!
