Hi folks,

The environment is Oracle 10gR2 (10.2.0.3) on SUSE linux 10.

Please ignore my lack of knowledge with the partitions and its handling.
We've a big bunch of tables with both partitioned and subpartitioned
indexes. And some of them were in the state of N/A as part of ETL process
which failed due to some reason. So I tried to rebuild the partitioned
indexes but came across the error ora-14827:cannot rebuild a partition of a
composite range partitioned index.

I rebuilt the entire subpartitions and I can see from
user_ind_subpartitions, they are all in USABLE state but the status in
user_ind_partitions is still showing N/A and same status is from
user_indexes for the indexes that were unusable earlier. Is this a normal
behavior for partitioned indexes? or do I need to rebuild partitioned
indexes in some other way? Thanks for the help.
