RE: "create index offline"

I'm not aware of any such syntax. You can create index "online". This indicates that DML can be happening on the table during index creation.

I'm only familiar with "offline" in the context of tablepaces and datafiles.

Subject: "create index offline"

Hi all:

I have been reading documents on Metalink and ran into phrase "create index offline". I don't remember seeing that before and I was wondering whether it refers to dropping and recreating index (as opposite to alter index rebuild) or whether it means something totally different.

thank you

Gene Gurevich
