40+ minutes to create an index on a 1 TB table - that is fast for us.
It took me the same time to create an index on a 15 GB table.
How come? "alter session set sort_area_size"? Parallel?

Subject: Creating index problems
Hi... we are having issues trying to create indexes from a remote location. we have access to the console and are running the create index on the server, but it takes 40+ minutes to create. BTW... this table is 1Tb. however, when performing the same operation at another location, same configuration as before, the index only takes 10min. what am i missing? both of these servers are SAN attached. the indexes are being created on the SAN.
