Does anyone know if building index with online mode will require more tablespace than traditional index building?
If so, how do I estimate enough tablespace before issue the command??
Thanks

Are you talking about the Enterprise edition feature where you can rebuild an index online without locking it excusively?? or just an index rebuild
Anyway you will need twice the size of your index in teh tablespace while it rebuilds

Yes, I am talking about Enterprise edition feature where you can rebuild an index online without locking it excusively. Do you mean it takes the twice the size of index in the tablespace for building it online, or just a regular rebuild? For regular rebuild, we don't need that much space.

As i understand the online rebuild uses quite a lot of space. It must maintain a copy of current index while the operation is taking place, plus sorting space. So a rebuild will require at least twice the space while the operation takes place.
