Cherie,

Now,
--Yes, we have parallel set to six
Do you have enough physical memory and CPU power/faster drives for writing to handle this number of parallel process as it is intensive on such resources specially available memory at that time plus writing capabilty of your drives. There may be possible bottlenecks. Just check. If you are using tool 'glance' this will give you a good idea while running this process.

Nologging is fine.

You are checking sort area size right...

What about temp tablespace and target tablespace fragmentation...

Regards
Rafiq

Rafiq,

Yes, we have parallel set to six. We are using nologging. I am checking on the sort_area_size.

Thanks,

Cherie

                     to ORACLE-L






Please check following....
Are you creating indexes with parallel clause or not? Are you using unrecoverable/nologging or not Is your sort_area_size is ok?
What type of TEMP tablespace are you using with temp file or datafile and sizing of extents are proper?
Is your target tablespace is not that much fragmented?

Yechiel,

There is no other activity in this warehouse database while the index builds are being done.
The users access is shut off, no batch jobs for this database are running, and the nightly
data loads have already finished.

Thanks,

Cherie

I think that it is related to the activity against the DB. Not only there is more load on the DB but access path that use the index can default to full table scan if the index is not available because you are rebuilding it just now.
