Hi... we are having issues trying to create indexes from a remote location. we have access to the console and are running the create index on the server, but it takes 40+ minutes to create. BTW... this table is 1Tb. however, when performing the same operation at another location, same configuration as before, the index only takes 10min. what am i missing? both of these servers are SAN attached. the indexes are being created on the SAN. -- Bryan S Wells (Perpetually Stumped) Database Administrator bunjibry@xxxxxxxxx
