Karthik, It's because you moved the table.
Think about it - the index is nothing more than a list of ROWID's. The ROWID's in the index are pointing to the old location of the table. Thus, the index is invalid. Run the second part of my suggestion - either move the index to a new tablesspace, or rebuild the index and you should be all set.

But now I am getting the following error. "ORA-01502: index 'ETAIL_TEST_NEW.AGENT_PK' or partition of such index is in unusable state" Is it because of moving the table to a different tablespace or is it something else? TIA regards, Karthik -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, September 17, 2002 6:13 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Karthik, Look at the ALTER TABLE {table_name} MOVE {tablespace}; command. It will do exactly what you want. You can also ALTER INDEX {index_name} REBUILD {tablespace} to move indexes. Hope this helps.

Is there any way to move the records and the table to some other tablespace? regards, Karthik -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Karthikeyan S INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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).
