Hi! Surelly 12M seems to be pretty low... check out: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/text/htdocs/Index_Maintenance.html Also maybe you have big redo logs alreasy but I suggest to check and increase if needed... because sync gives you lots of usage. Also remember that no other operations(ALTER INDEX... or optimize_index) on text index when sync or optimizing is running.... or you might get negative effect. -Teijo >>> Hemant K Chitale <hkchital@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 04/08/09 6:51 pm >>> '12M' seems to be quite low. That is the memory allocation for the index synchronization. Values of 50M and 100M and higher wouldn't be unreasonable. Ensure that you have a job to sync the index frequently.
