Thank you everyone, What I am really looking for problems and solutions normally identified and resolved with table compression. I have read about this, I have also tried on our development database. I have noticed that secondary index goes un-usable when I compress a table. Does this means I have to compress secondary index as well, or should I drop secondary index as it is not required anymore? TIA, Shahed. -----Original Message----- From: desert_moon@xxxxxxxxx [mailto:desert_moon@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: 20 September 2004 18:53 To: Shahed.Mirza@xxxxxxxxx Cc: 'oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: Re: Oracle Table Compression.
