Hi,

I have created indexes with parallel Degree 6 or 8 and they were
fast on 400 million rows table, (it took around 20-30 minutes )

But now there is a requirement to create a Unique deferred Constraint which will create a NON Unique index

I am using this

ALTER TABLE PAYMENTS ADD ( CONSTRAINT UNI_PYM_TRANSID_PYMT_SEQ  UNIQUE (TRANS_ID, PYMT_SEQ) deferrable initially deferred)  ;


This statement will take forever on a 400 mill rows table, since internally it's creating a index and here i cann't apply Parallel Degree for Index Creation,

Is there a way i can speed up the above constraint creation.


Thanks

First create the index then the constraint.

If you KNOW that your current data is valid, you can create the constraint with ENABLE NOVALIDATE specified. This means the constraint will only be applied to new data, or data that changes.

Thanks Michel and JR

I will try both options and see the time difference.


Thanks Again
