I'm a little bothered by the fact that a known corrupt index would be used to rebuild itself. I would expect 1) The rebuild to fail 2) The rebuild to use the table data as the source One question in my mind is what was the index state? Was it still marked as good in the data dictionary despite these errors? Should it not have been marked as corrupt/unusable? ------- Original Message ------- On 8/25/2010 4:52 PM Jared Still wrote: On Wed, Aug 25, 2010 at 9:22 AM, Evan Pettrey <jepettrey@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
The rebuild did work, but the errors still remained and the log continued to grow. After dropping and recreating the indexes everything worked properly.
This would seem to validate the statement in the docs that 'REBUILD' does read the old index rather than table data. Someone care to test this? Win worldwide fame and glory by verifying that the docs are actually correct. :) Jared Still Certifiable Oracle DBA and Part Time Perl Evangelist Oracle Blog: http://jkstill.blogspot.com Home Page: http://jaredstill.com -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
