Mike,
 When you insert data into a table redo logs are written for both the data info and 
the index info. If the index is created as unrecoverable then the redo log and archive 
log info is not written. That is where the time savings is derived from. 
 During my daily load of my tables (approx 200000 rows, 13 tables ,40 + indexes)  the 
redo log generation and archivelog generation has decreased twice fold.
Of course you should take a back up of your data and indexes after the work is 
completed. 
Time is saved during the IMP of the data also if the indexes are unrecoverable and or 
you EXP with index=N.

Ron,
How does creating indexes as UNRECOVERABLE save time when you insert data?
As far as I'm aware the only operation it will save time on is the initial
creation.

Regards,
Mike

Jack
Drop the indexes first before you do the deletes will save you time by not
creating logs for the indexes being deleted. On my large activity files I have
created the indexes as "Unrecoverable" saving time when I add data or delete
data.

Hi All,


I have to do some pretty big deletes on a test environment and they are
estimated to take for ever.
Are there any options to speed it up?
