Rebuilding Indexes
John-MKFeb 13 2012 — edited Feb 13 2012Hi,
I had a request initially to REBUILD INDEXES ONLINE, but I figured out that this feature is not available with STANDARD EDITION DB. DB is 10.2.0.4, OS Linux RH. I have read that I have the option to rebuild indexes OFFLINE, like
"ALTER INDEX index_name REBUILD tablespace tablespace_name"
Do I have to take care of something before applying the above command in the production database? Is it better to rebuild indexes while giving different tablespace name or the old one is just fine? In short, Please suggest any drawbacks of applying above command (if any).
Thanks a lot.
Regards
