Re: Altering Indexes

I've never heard of a "mass move index" utility. What I did in a similar situation is script it, with something like this:

SET head OFF feed ON echo OFF verify OFF pagesize 0 linesize 65 trimspool on

--
spool ind_fix.sql
--
select 'alter index '||index_name||' rebuild '
||CHR(10)||' tablespace  <ts name here>'
||CHR(10)||' storage (<storage stuff here>);'
from user_indexes
/
--
spool off
--
SET head ON feed ON echo ON verify ON pagesize 50 linesize 200


Then run the generated script.  This was on a database with over 2300
indexes (and 1400 tables).  Most weren't that large, so it didn't take too
long.  I was doing this to put the indexes in a tablespace with uniform
extent sizes, so the storage parameters were the same for every index.
