Just my opinion - I've learned to be skeptical of anything I read on that site.
Tom Kyte, Jonathan Lewis and the rest of the Oak Table would probably agree.
I can only recommend that you test things for yourself and avoid compulsive
maintenance - that is, you should only do something (e.g. rebuild an index) if
there is a measurable positive result, otherwise you're wasting resources that
could be better spent elsewhere. So, you could count me in the group that Don
describes as those who "maintain that Oracle indexes should "rarely" be
rebuilt."

Hi,
http://www.dba-oracle.com/art_dbazine_idx_rebuild.htm
Here is the very good document for indexes.
I just found that.

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?
