I have a need to regularly Recreate certain Indexes . {see note below on
WHY !}
This is scripted. However, the script sometimes errors on the DROP with
ORA-0054
and, of course, the CREATE doesn't go through.
We are trying to put a loop to check the spooled output of the script and rerun
it if the DROP fails.
However, I was wondering if anyone has implemented a technique to handle
ORA-0054s
and automated the retry of the DDL.
Why I can't use a REBUILD is because it is a corrupt index.
{and surely, the REBUILD does use a WAIT when it switches the indexes.
Why doesn't Oracle allow us to write a DROP ... WAIT ?}
NOTE : Why the Recreate Indexes :
These are 6 BitMap Join Indexes. A bug in 9.2.0.4 causes occasional ORA-600s
when querying the table. The solution is to Recreate the Indexes. I had
emailed
this list on 03-Dec on ORA-600 [12700] errors with these BMJIs.
Although 9.2.0.5 is indicated to have a fix, I see some references to other
BMJI issues in 9.2.0.5 and we haven't yet gone to 9.2.0.5 for this
particular database.
