what happens if you try and do this without parallelisation - or with a
lower degree?

Hi all:

I think I have posted on this issue before, but I can't find my old Emails
so - sorry for the repeated question.
Here is the situation.  I am running oracle 9208 and have a 40G table with
a lot of indices  - mostly bitmap
Their sizes are under 1G. These indices take about 20 to 30 minutes to
build. That seems to be too long.
I have just waited for 24 minutes to build a 82M index. The index is
parallelized 4 way, the table is
parallelized 6 ways. I have 2G sga and 1.5G pga. I do see a lot of IO
waits
(via vmstat) and I have UNIX
team looking into that. I think I have plenty of memory and the
parallelizm
should be enough for a small index.

Any thoughts on what else I should look at?

thank you

Gene Gurevich
