I need to determine whether or not a couple of indexes need to be rebuilt. The problem is the indexes are quite large and on a 24x7 high volume database. If I try to run an "analyze validate structure" to gather the data I need to make that decision, it sets a lock on the table for about an hour which I can't afford to do. There is no slow time when I can do this and management has said before they're not going to spring for the partitioning option to break the indexes up into managable pieces. Is there some other way I can get the information needed to determine if an index needs to be rebuilt or not without setting a lock on the table? We are on Oracle 8.1.7.
