Have you checked v$session_longops ... ??? regular index builds show up there, so I guess rebuilds will show up as well ...

Is there any way to check on the progress of an index rebuild? (Oracle 8i). I.e., it would be nice to get some indicator as to how far an index rebuild has gone, something like "75% done...".

As a rough indicator, I've noticed when rebuilding/moving an index to a different tablespace, Oracle will allocate temporary extents in the tablespace to which the index is being moved. So, in theory, I suppose I could see how big (in terms of extents) the index is before moving it and use that as a rough indicator to see how far along the rebuild is by counting the number of temporary extents allocated in the new tablespace (taking into account the extent size in the new tablespace).

Are there better ways to see the progress of an index rebuild?

Thanks for any help.
