IOT table is an index, so there is no problem using it on a high activity table. I have a table with 2 Columns, heavily updated everyday(around 10M updates/day) and performance is excellent. I later partitioned the table so that removing the old data is easier. The tricky is the overflow segment. It is still heap organized. Secondary index on IOT table is ok(at least in 8.1.7). But as the clustering factor of the IOT table, range scan-urowid on secondary table is less efficient.

I know what is in the docs. Anyone have significant problems?
