Rich,
There was a definite bug with online index creates in 8.1.7.1. I think it was fixed in 8.1.7.3 but I am sure it is OK in 8.1.7.4

Hi all,

Has anyone experienced problems using the ONLINE option to create an index on a production 8.1.7.2 DB (HP/UX 11.0, if that matters)?

I need to create a largish (for us -- ~300 MB) index on an audit table, but I don't want to lock it while the index is created. I've heard of bugs using ONLINE with indexes and am being paranoid, as usual.

TIA!
