Hi,=20 Have any one hit such problem? On a very busy table, we build a new index on some column, and for some reason(It caused high load on server) and we typed CTRL-c. Now we can't drop the index, nor can we rebuild it any longer. We don't want to bounce the instance as it may i8mpact a lot of users and reduce our avaliablility. The status for the index in ind$ is now 256. Oracle version is 8.1.7.4 Anyone have experience?=20 --=20 Regards Zhu Chao www.cnoug.org -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
