Hi

I'm working with sql-loader in Oracle8. I'm loading a table with one index, ¿can i have any problem with that index?, problems of unusable index or something similar

Hi,

If you use the "skip_index_maintenance" option, you may very well end up with unusable indexes (Default FALSE).

Also, according to chapter 8 of the Oracle8 Utilities Guide:

"The following conditions cause the direct path option to leave an index or a partition of a partitioned index in Index Unusable state:

- SQL*Loader runs out of space for the index, and cannot update the index.
- The data is not in the order specified by the SORTED INDEXES clause.
- There is an instance failure, or the Oracle shadow process fails while building the index.
- There are duplicate keys in a unique index.
- Data save points are being used, and the load fails or is terminated via a keyboard interrupt after a data save point occurred."

Best regards.

Frank
