Gene,

Perhaps the indexes weren't owned by MYOWNER. Accidentally owned by a different userid?

Hi all:

Last night I have moved couple of tables from one TS to another. Then I thought I'd check whether I need to rebuild any indices. I ran the following query:

select distinct status from dba_objects
where owner = 'MYOWNER'

Oracle returned I row with value VALID. From that I concluded that there were no indices to be rebuilt. This morning however it turns out that there indeed were indices in UNUSABLE state. What I don't understand is why didn't I see UNUSABLE in the output of my query. Can anyone explain please?

thanks

Gene
