Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Rapidly Growing space usage in TS with only two indexes
Nope. The indexes were not rebuilt.
And secondly why would indexes grow rapidly after a rebuild unless data is inserted in / around the indexed area?
I am searching Tom but I have no satisfactory answers.
PS: To solve the issue, we did rebuild the index after 7 days of now stop growth and space taken up in the TS now is around 25 % less.
Rgds.

Nizar,
Are these indexes rebuilt recently?
The indexes may grow rapidly after a index rebuilt! ( u may chk it out "AskTom" for more readings on this!)
Thanks,
Arul Kumar.
