I need to determine whether or not a couple of indexes need to be rebuilt.
The problem is the indexes are quite large and on a 24x7 high volume
database. If I try to run an "analyze validate structure" to gather the data
I need to make that decision, it sets a lock on the table for about an hour
which I can't afford to do. There is no slow time when I can do this and
management has said before they're not going to spring for the partitioning
option to break the indexes up into managable pieces. Is there some other
way I can get the information needed to determine if an index needs to be
rebuilt or not without setting a lock on the table? We are on Oracle 8.1.7.
