Greg, I was told by Oracle Support when I started using Rman under version 8.0 to use SYS or INTERNAL, as it is "better". Between you and me, "better" is quite subjective. But, I wrote scripts that connect as INTERNAL, and it has been working fine ever since, so I did not re-visit it. Do you u

We use LiveReorg here and have had a few problems. When it works, it works very well and when it breaks it can hose your database. It does invalidate some objects and you will need to manually recompile them if you don't tell it to do it for you. Since some objects are invalidated because of de

I agree with Jesse. Although Live Reorg would be a great tool, it was extremely COST INTENSIVE. I would love to be able to reorg tables with essentially no down time but, so far, the cost does not outweigh the benefit. The nice thing with Space Manager is that it will create your DB scripts for

Space Manager is an "offline" tool -- It creates a script that will create a new table, populate it, and replace the old table with it, and during this time the table is not accessible. Live Reorg only has a "very short" window where the table is locked -- Quest says a few seconds -- while the ta
