Rafiq,
Yes, we have parallel set to six. We are using nologging. I am checking on the sort_area_size.
Thanks,
Cherie

Please check following....
Are you creating indexes with parallel clause or not?
Are you using unrecoverable/nologging or not
Is your sort_area_size is ok?
What type of TEMP tablespace are you using with temp file or datafile
and sizing of extents are proper?
Is your target tablespace is not that much fragmented?
Regards
Rafiq

Yechiel,
There is no other activity in this warehouse database while the index
builds are being done.
The users access is shut off, no batch jobs for this database are running,
and the nightly
data loads have already finished.
Thanks,
Cherie

I think that it is related to the activity against the DB. Not only there is more load on the DB but access path that use the index can default to full table scan if the index is not available because you are rebuilding it just now.
