Ken - No, there isn't a magic single command. Moving the indexes, even with alter index, cause a lot of work for Oracle, and can consume quite a bit of time. As the typical cautious production DBA, I do not like to start a really large monolithic process that might make my system unavailable to the users for an unknown period of time. I would recommend that you use SQL to create a script to alter the indexes. This will allow you to Pareto's rule to do the many small indexes first, then work up to the larger indexes that use increasing amounts of time. Also, I would recommend considering several index tablespaces, maybe even moving the largest tables to their own tablespace first. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
-----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2001 8:25 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I have this large DB (approx. 250 tables) that has the tables and indexes in the same tablespace (not my design). Is there a way I can move all of the indexes to a separate tablespace en-mass? I know I can move them one at a time with the alter index command, but that would be rather time consuming.
