Hello,

I have used this dynamic script (on 8.1.6.x and 8.1.7.x) successfully with no corruption, for the past two years. The script actually moves the indexes from where they are originally built on a data tblsp to its index tblsp. However, dropping the "and tablespace_name = 'TBLSPD'", will result in a in-situ rebuild, which is probably what you want. Perhaps your environment is not conducive to index rebuilds ? I have 64-bit HP-UNIX, 32-bit oracle.

set pagesize 0
set lines 120
set verify off
set echo off
set feedback off
set head off
spool move_indexes.sql
select 'alter index '||index_name||' rebuild tablespace TBLSPX; ' from all_indexes where owner = 'MYSCHEMA' and tablespace_name = 'TBLSPD' order by index_name;
spool off
start move_indexes

Thank you,

Paul Sherman

I'm still back on 8.1.6 and when I tried to use 'alter index rebuild online' I got corrupted indexes. I saw on metalink that it's supposed to be fixed by 8.1.7.1 - anybody using successfully now?
