I have several indice and several constraints to create and enable. So if I run them in parallel they will complete faster. So I need some form of 'lock' so that my analyze command runs after all that is complete.
With one dbms_alert by itself is fine, however, I need to wait for multiple alerts. I think the loop I used in another email will do it. What do you think?
