Analyze index validate structure checks the index for self-consistency analyze table xxx validate structure cascade; checks that the table is valid and consistentwith all its indexes. i.e. if a row exists it is indexed and if an index entry exists there is
a matching row.This checks every index, and remember that it locks the table

Subject: Analyze index validate structure Date: Mon, 9 Jul 2007 17:01:06 -0400 From: "Schauss, Peter" <peter.schauss@xxxxxxx> I am still trying to track down the source of an intermittent Ora-01410 error. If the above command returns no errors does this assure me that all of the leaves on the index point to valid rows in the target table? (Oracle 8.1.7.4 on SunOS 5.9). Thanks, Peter Schauss
