As we found out last night, the "fix" doesn't fix anything. The online index rebuild will still hang indefinitely and lock the table.

Since there is bound to be some inquisitive mind out there wanting know why we have a nightly online index rebuild: This is on tables that have complete turnover in their data every 15 minutes .... COOL! The index sizes grow approximately five-fold in a day. The DBA's here didn't write the app, and during the design phase (using the term very loosely), we told them (in our best cartoon voice)
Y-O-U-'-L-L B-E S-O-R-R-Y
(Actually, it's us that's sorry since we are the ones that have to deal with
it.)

We upgraded to 9.2.0.3 because of the show stopping shared pool fragmentation in 8.1.7.4. We apparently got rid of one problem and picked up another one. (SURPRISE!) I guess I'll have to write some logic in the script to detect when the index build gets stuck and kill it. Oracle really should be begging us to be become a beta test site. We can screw up a steel ball.
