Hi Gurus, Iam going to reorganize my bigtables, Could you people suggest any better ideas?? My environment is Oracle7.3.2 on AIX415. I want to minimize redo and undo at the time of reorg. If I create an Index in unrecoverable mode, Is it I have to bring in recoverable mode?? One of friend saying in the list its not persistent!! Steps for Reorg:- Create table COPY_Bigtable Tablespace sparedisk Storage(INITIAL 500M NEXT 300M PCTINCREASE 0) Unrecoverable Parallel(DEGREE 4) AS Select * from Bigtable; Drop table Bigtable, Coalesce the entire TABLESPACE !! Create Bigtable thru scripts with suitable storage parameters Insert /*+ append */ into Bigtable SELECT * FROM COPY_Bigtable; Rebuild the Indexes with unrecoverable option. Any better ideas?? TIA peter. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Peter R INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
