Here's a reason: have you ever tried to find the three duplicate rows in a 12 million row table without using the primary key constraint? I've had to disable or drop the constraint in order to use the exceptions table. Once I do that, even if I've built a separate index that enforces the primary key constraint, Oracle drops the index. So I HAVE to rebuild it. If I allow the index to be rebuilt when I re-enable the primary key constraint, it builds it in the default tablespace of the table owner, not where I want it.
if anyone has a better way to fix this problem, I'm more than happy to hear it! It's a data warehouse and the third party app has a bug we can't find and on occasion sqlloads (via direct path) duplicate rows Rachel --- Jared Still <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Though I have published a script for determining indexes that > need to be rebuilt, and then rebuilding them, I have to say that > this is almost never necessary. > > Why are you rebuilding indexes?
