Hello Jay Here is a little script that will generate the commands needed to rebuild the indexes:
spool rebuild.sql select distinct 'alter table '||table_name||' modify partition '||p.partition_name||' rebuild unusable local indexes;' from user_ind_partitions p, user_TAB_PARTITIONS t where p.status='UNUSABLE' and p.partition_name=t.partition_name; select distinct 'alter index '||index_name||' rebuild;' from user_indexes where status='INVALID' or status='UNUSABLE'; spool off Yechiel Adar, Mehish Computer Services [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Original Message----- > From: Miller, Jay [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wed, January 16, 2002 5:51 PM > To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L > Subject: 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.
