I know - it's kind of a pain.  Search Metalink for index_stats and you should 
find a script that you can run which will create a stored procedure and 
generate a secondary script to run validate structure on each index and then 
insert the values from index_stats into a secondary table, e.g. all_index_stats.

While you do the validate structure with indexes, it shows the stats only for 
the last index.
 
How can I see the list of all the indexes who needs to get rebuild now.
 
I can see the results only for 1 index and that is the last one in valudate 
structure.

Hi Guys,
 
I think that even select statement will make the index split and require the 
rebuilding. Am I true? I think I am.
 
And there is a view called index_stats with column height. 
 
I have read that when the value of this column is >= 4, u need to rebuild the 
indexes.
But after analyzing the particular schema, I don see any value to get populated 
in this view.
 
I can see last analyzed value changed in dba_indexes when I analyze the schema 
with DBMS_STATS. ANALYZE_SCHEMA package.
 
Why this is so?
