Thanks for sharing your solution. I would like to take the opportunity that the code presented will ignore all errors that are not ORA-00439. This may not be what you want or intended. Here's an example of the code modified to raise errors other than ora-439. There may be other optimizations available to you, but it is difficult to make other recommendations without being familiar with how the code is used in the installer. DECLARE v_success BOOLEAN; e_bitmap_not_enabled exception; pragma exception_init (e_bitmap_not_enabled, -439); BEGIN v_success := TRUE; BEGIN EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE BITMAP INDEX idx_f1 ON PODEAPAGAR(COLUNA1) TABLESPACE tbsind'; EXCEPTION WHEN e_bitmap_not_enabled THEN v_success := FALSE; DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(SQLERRM); DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Resource not available'); END IF; WHEN OTHERS THEN RAISE; END; IF NOT v_success THEN EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE INDEX idx_lot_f1 ON PODEAPAGAR(COLUNA1) TABLESPACE tbsind'; ELSE DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('BITMAP index successfuly created'); END IF; END; Jared Still Certifiable Oracle DBA and Part Time Perl Evangelist Oracle Blog: http://jkstill.blogspot.com Home Page: http://jaredstill.com On Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 11:48 AM, Eriovaldo Andrietta <ecandrietta@xxxxxxxxx > wrote: > Friends, > > Here is the script that I did. > This will solve my issue.
