RE: Index creation and locking

Hi Lisa!  

Thanks for the note. I ran the create index and no one complained. I may have been lucky. :)  

Oracle 8.0.5.2.1 was the release.  

Regards, Linda

Linda,

I have seen this happen with 'resource busy and acquired with nowait specified' error returned to a user trying to query a table while (bitmap) index creation is running. However, it was not consistent.

Heck, try it out and see what you end up with. Let us know.

Does index creation lock the underlying records or table for the duration of

the creation, and subsequently interfere with other transactions, such as on-line?
