Is there any way to check on the progress of an index rebuild? (Oracle 8i). 
I.e., it would be nice to get some indicator as to how far an index rebuild 
has gone, something like "75% done...".

As a rough indicator, I've noticed when rebuilding/moving an index to a 
different tablespace, Oracle will allocate temporary extents in the 
tablespace to which the index is being moved. So, in theory, I suppose I 
could see how big (in terms of extents) the index is before moving it and 
use that as a rough indicator to see how far along the rebuild is by 
counting the number of temporary extents allocated in the new tablespace 
(taking into account the extent size in the new tablespace).

Are there better ways to see the progress of an index rebuild?

Thanks for any help.

Daniel,

v$session_longops, perhaps?
(at least for the sort operation).
I'd run a test, but stomach tells me otherwise.

There is a window in OEM, if you edit the session,
that will show a progress bar. methinks that it is
hitting v$session_longops under the hood. pretty easy
to see which sql (in v$sql) belongs to OEM, as it is
hinted with "OEM" in it.

Hi!

Check v$session_longops view, it is meant for monitoring this kind of
long-running jobs - but it can be quite inaccurate.
Another way would be to check v$sort_usage during sorting phase of index
recreation and then check the newly created index segments size (it'll be
created as a temporary segment initially and switched to index-type
afterwards).

Tanel.

Hi!
 
For index, yes, if you use: alter index 
 rebuild compute statistics;
 
But don't rebuild your indexes daily, it's an 
expensive operation... and you won't gain much from it anyway.

Ak,

I just know you can collect statistics while creating index not rebuild
index.

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?  About the only reason for ever
doing so is that the BLEVEL >= 5.

go to asktom.oracle.com, and do a search on 'index rebuild'.

Currently, the third article may be of interest.

RE: Online Index Rebuild Tuning

2002-12-13 Thread Babette Turner-Underwood
Sorry to take so long to respond (not much time for list lately...)

If you are going to be rebuilding regularly,
then DO NOT use compressed indexes. They save lots
of space and seem to work fairly well, but you
cannot do online index rebuilds with them
(at least it was that way in 8.1.6)

Another option might be to use partitioned indexes
so you can rebuild a partition at a time. Strange
as it may seem, Oracle allows you to create
partitioned indexes on non-partitioned tables.

Connor,

That's a good point - something which I really hadn't thought about.
Unfortunately many of the indexes relate to foreign keys and primary keys,
which are an ever increasing value here.  I've already tried rebuilding one
or two small indexes and they shrunk from ~180MB to ~70MB.

Also, I have heard about compressing indexes, but it is something I have
never used before.  Can anyone shed some light on the topic?  Are there any
drawbacks (ie: reduced IO but increased processing)?

Thanks,
 Mark.

The first question is whether you really need to
rebuild them.  If the indexes columns are such that
the values are likely to be reused, then I wouldn't
bother - since that deleted space will get reused as
required.

Re: Online Index Rebuild Tuning

2002-12-06 Thread Connor McDonald
A few nasties still exist with compression on indexes
if they are going to be used as a unique or primary
key - you'll have to come to my session at UKOUG if
you want to see why :-)

But also jumping back to Mark's point about rebuilding
the index because it contains ever increasing values -
this is not necessarily a driver toward rebuild the
index.  A simple example follows:

SQL> create table t1 ( x number, y number);

Table created.

SQL> create index t1x on t1 (x);

Index created.

SQL> insert into t1
  2  select rownum,rownum
  3  from sys.source$
  4  where rownum < 10;

9 rows created.

SQL> analyze index t1x compute statistics;

Index analyzed.

SQL> select leaf_blocks from user_indexes
  2  where index_name = 'T1X';

LEAF_BLOCKS
---
200

-- remove the "lower" half of the rows

SQL> delete from t1 where x < 5;

4 rows deleted.

SQL> commit;

Commit complete.

rem
rem  and add to the top
rem

SQL> insert into t1
  2  select rownum+10,rownum+10
  3  from sys.source$
  4  where rownum < 5;

4 rows created.

SQL> analyze index t1x compute statistics;

Index analyzed.

SQL> select leaf_blocks from user_indexes
  2  where index_name = 'T1X';

LEAF_BLOCKS
---
202

-- and again

SQL> delete from t1 where x < 10;

5 rows deleted.

SQL> commit;

Commit complete.

SQL> insert into t1
  2  select rownum+15,rownum+15
  3  from sys.source$
  4  where rownum < 5;

4 rows created.

SQL> analyze index t1x compute statistics;

Index analyzed.

SQL> select leaf_blocks from user_indexes
  2  where index_name = 'T1X';

LEAF_BLOCKS

To obtain optimal results with a compressed index, you need to 
build it with the least selective columns as the leading columns.

A great deal of compression can be had, but you need to be
careful where you use it.

It can lead to a lot of buffer busy waits.

I found that one out the hard way.  ;)

Re: Online Index Rebuild Tuning

2002-12-05 Thread Mogens Nørgaard




Compressing indexes has been an option since 8i, and Jonathan Lewis has done
some interesting presentations on this (I witnessed it at our Database Forum
in Middelfart this year - very impresive). 

In short, it changes the way you should think of concatenated indexes, ie
you should put the least selective column first, then compress it. That way
you'll end up with very small indexes compared to the old days and ways.


I don't see any drawbacks to this approach except that you of course has
to unlearn what you have learned (Yoda?)...

Other index things Jonathan adresses include: It is actually better to index
small tables, even one-row tables.

Re: Online Index Rebuild Tuning

2002-12-05 Thread Mark Richard
Connor,

That's a good point - something which I really hadn't thought about.
Unfortunately many of the indexes relate to foreign keys and primary keys,
which are an ever increasing value here.  I've already tried rebuilding one
or two small indexes and they shrunk from ~180MB to ~70MB.

Also, I have heard about compressing indexes, but it is something I have
never used before.  Can anyone shed some light on the topic?  Are there any
drawbacks (ie: reduced IO but increased processing)?

Thanks,
 Mark.

The first question is whether you really need to

bother - since that deleted space will get reused as

Re: Online Index Rebuild Tuning

2002-12-05 Thread Mogens Nørgaard
As far as I remember the online rebuild does a FFS (Fast Full Scan) of 
the existing index' leaf blocks, then builds the new one and finally 
does some clever stuff before switching over (renaming the new index 
from a temporary segment to a permanent). So there's a lot of reading 
and writing involved (IO considerations) and the sort area will probably 
be used just as heavily as if you created a new index (but I'm not too 
sure about that) and finally there's of course the usual storage 
consideration (LMT's, etc.). That's about it, I believe.

RE: alter index rebuild online

2002-03-05 Thread Sherman, Paul R.

Hello,

I have used this dynamic script (on 8.1.6.x and 8.1.7.x) successfully with
no corruption, for the past two years. The script actually moves the indexes
from where they are originally built on a data tblsp to its index tblsp.
However, dropping the "and tablespace_name = 'TBLSPD'", will result in a
in-situ rebuild, which is probably what you want. Perhaps your environment
is not conducive to index rebuilds ? I have 64-bit HP-UNIX, 32-bit oracle.

set pagesize 0
set lines 120
set verify off
set echo off
set feedback off
set head off
spool move_indexes.sql
select 'alter index '||index_name||' rebuild tablespace TBLSPX; ' from
all_indexes where owner = 'MYSCHEMA' and tablespace_name = 'TBLSPD' order by
index_name;
spool off
start move_indexes

Thank you,

Re: SQL Loader Direct Load - Problem with Index Rebuild

2002-01-16 Thread Ron Rogers

Jay,
Had the same problem when I used a script during the move of data. A
look at the database tablespaces and indexes showed that the indexes all
resided in TEMP and were not perminently written into the designed
tablespace before the next partition started. The TEMP filled and the
remaining indexes failed with the "failed to extend.." problem. I
increased the size of the datafile used in the TEMP tablespace until to
load was completed and then RESIZE'd it down to the max size used for
the load. I figure that the loads going forward are going to be as large
if not larger so I will need the additional space. My space increased
from 1.4 GIG to 2.1 GIG on the datafile used as the TEMP tablespace.
Other than putting some delays in the load plan to allow the updates to
complete, your manual method works.

Hi,

Okay, this is the second time this has happened and while I have a
guess I'd
appreciate any feedback on the issue.  Last night during a direct load
to
one of our datawarehouse tables 4 of the index partition rebuilds
failed
with the following errors (the remaining partitions were fine, as were
all
the other indexes):

index EIS.IDX_BKP_TRANS_DATE partition BOOK2001OCT was made unusable
due to:
ORA-01652: unable to extend temp segment by 320 in tablespace
TS_BOOKKEEPING_FACT_IDX
index EIS.IDX_BKP_TRANS_DATE partition BOOK2001NOV was made unusable
due to:
ORA-01658: unable to create INITIAL extent for segment in tablespace
TS_BOOKKEEPING_FACT_IDX
index EIS.IDX_BKP_TRANS_DATE partition BOOK2001DEC was made unusable
due to:
ORA-01658: unable to create INITIAL extent for segment in tablespace
TS_BOOKKEEPING_FACT_IDX
index EIS.IDX_BKP_TRANS_DATE partition BOOK2002JAN was made unusable
due to:
ORA-01658: unable to create INITIAL extent for segment in tablespace
TS_BOOKKEEPING_FACT_IDX

I was able to manually rebuild the index partitions with no problem.  

There are currently 1,881 free extents of the size 320 blocks in that
tablespace.  The entire index (including all partitions) only takes up
473
extents.  We have degrees=1 on the index.

There's a metalink Forum thread (ORA 1652 During Direct Load) where a
similar problem occurred.  It seems to imply each index may be claiming
2x
it's required space while being rebuilt and that SMON might not clean
up
that space right away.  This could certainly have caused there to be
not
enough space available if it required the tablespace to be 2x the size
of
*all* the indexes.  In that case the fact that SMON cleaned it up
before I
did the manual rebuild would explain why the latter worked.
Looking at the tablespace I see that it is currently almost 2x the size
so
it's possible that's why I had avoided the problem for the last few
months.

Has anyone else had this problem and is there a workaround short of
dropping
the indexes before the load and recreating them?  I'd rather avoid
that
since it's usually only a few partitions that need to be rebuilt.

I'm on Oracle 8.1.6.3, Solaris 2.6.

SQL Loader Direct Load - Problem with Index Rebuild

Hi,

Okay, this is the second time this has happened and while I have a guess I'd
appreciate any feedback on the issue.  Last night during a direct load to
one of our datawarehouse tables 4 of the index partition rebuilds failed
with the following errors (the remaining partitions were fine, as were all
the other indexes):

index EIS.IDX_BKP_TRANS_DATE partition BOOK2001OCT was made unusable due to:
ORA-01652: unable to extend temp segment by 320 in tablespace
TS_BOOKKEEPING_FACT_IDX
index EIS.IDX_BKP_TRANS_DATE partition BOOK2001NOV was made unusable due to:
ORA-01658: unable to create INITIAL extent for segment in tablespace
TS_BOOKKEEPING_FACT_IDX
index EIS.IDX_BKP_TRANS_DATE partition BOOK2001DEC was made unusable due to:
ORA-01658: unable to create INITIAL extent for segment in tablespace

index EIS.IDX_BKP_TRANS_DATE partition BOOK2002JAN was made unusable due to:
ORA-01658: unable to create INITIAL extent for segment in tablespace
TS_BOOKKEEPING_FACT_IDX

I was able to manually rebuild the index partitions with no problem.  

There are currently 1,881 free extents of the size 320 blocks in that
tablespace.  The entire index (including all partitions) only takes up 473
extents.  We have degrees=1 on the index.

There's a metalink Forum thread (ORA 1652 During Direct Load) where a
similar problem occurred.  It seems to imply each index may be claiming 2x
it's required space while being rebuilt and that SMON might not clean up
