Dear All,
I have a table (partitioned - list) with approx. 500 million rows.
I have two indexes (partitioned - list) on this table in their own
separate tablespace.
Size of table is roughly 50GB and sizes of the two indexes currently are
17 GB each.
For the past 4 days, I have noticed that space is consumed in the index
tablespace at the rate of 1 GB per day.
This has never happened before and I have been racking my head as to the
reason why this is happening.
One thing I could think of was a 50: 50 block split when new values have
to be inserted in the index.
Is there any way I can check this or any other ideas why this could be
happening?
And is indexes rebuild necessary or warranted here?
Thanks,
G. Nizar A. Baig
