Hi Dan, another consideration is to find out it there are any dependencies in their environment (Quest Shareplex, eg) to make you want to preserve object_id's across your re-org efforts. Just out of curiosity, what's driving the reorg effort? Last time I looked under the covers at SAP, the SQL coming from the ABAP servers primarily did index-range scans from single tables. Then the servers would "join" data inside the buffers of the ABAP servers; to me the SAP on Oracle implementation looked as if they took their old MVS VSAM file structure and implemented each distinct file as a separate table in the new Oracle world. Does your customer have quantifiable evidence to suggest that a table reorg effort will resolve any current performance issues?

I'll find out this next week all the specifics. I am wondering if anyone has any experience in doing reorgs on SAP databases. What I should look for...what I should look out for...SAP specific things...which objects needs periodic reorgs...which objects needs a better storage parameters... Any help/comments would be most appreciated. Thank you in advance.
