Hi,

My database runs in noarchivelog. I had to restore a backup last week and one datafile was missing. It is a datafile from a tablespace that contains only indexes.

I put the datafile offline to allow startup, now I am wondering how to safely drop the tablespace, recreate it and recreate all the indexes. I am mostly worried about primary keys.

I have a full export of the database structure (no rows).

What are the correct steps to recreate all indexes properly without breaking constraints ?

Sincerly,
Monique Petit

You have no other solution to get a clean database, you have to drop or disable all unique and primary constraints and drop all indexes and recreate them.

Michel
