I'm fiddling with it. The thing I originally sent was just a skeleton idea. After putting a little meat on the bones, it doesn't seem to be problem in the test database (of course, everything always works in the test database). One thing I discovered is that I can't run it as system to drop the index from bubba's schema. It always says the index does not exist. It doesn't like the BUBBA.INDEX_NAME. I have to run it as bubba and drop INDEX_NAME. I've not checked the PGA size while it was running; I'll see about doing that.
