RE: CTX Indexes

Peter,

Speaking of CTX_DDL.OPTIMIZE_INDEX, do you remember if I should run that
procedure regularly or CTX_DDL.RESYNC_INDEX?  Should I run them both?

Thanks

Tom

Hi,
Well it has been a while, but back in 8.1.7 Oracle changed things so =3D
that the analyze did nothing, it only recorded the fact that it had been
=3D
run. The optimization method was changed to so that it was carried out =
=3D
at query time to find the token document count.

The object owned by ctxsys were not analyzed, but the =3D
dr$<your_index_name>$I etc objects created in the application schema =3D
that owned the text indices were analyzed. As well as  a regular =3D
CTX_DDL.OPTIMIZE_INDEX.

Regards

Pete

All,
=3D20

We are just creating CTX type indexes for the first time and I have a
couple of questions.

=3D20

I know that I need to periodically resync the indexes using the Ctx_ddl
package.  We plan on doing this nightly for now until the apps folks
tell us it needs to be done more often.

=3D20

I also tried to gather stats on the index, but the stats columns in the
user_indexes view did not get updated.  Is gathering stats on ctx type
indexes a waste of time?  Should I be gathering stats on some CTX tables
instead - like the DR$INDEX_VALUE table where all of the data from the
column is actually stored (this is a big assumption on my part)?

=3D20

Thanks


Tom
