Hi all, I don't have much experience with ctx_ddl package and how it works. We recently tried to perform a FULL optimize on one of context indexes, and it took around 20 hours on a slow day. On a second db, I tried to perform the same operation with PARALLEL_DEGREE (a parameter to full optimize procedure) of 8 and the process finished in 4 minutes. Since it didn't register anything in dr$index_stats, I assume it didn't do anything. any tricks to speed up this process? 9204/aix5.2ml2/24cpu/32gb TIA Raj ------------------------------ select standard_disclaimer from company_requirements where category = 'MANDATORY'; -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
