Hi,

I have a schedule job in crontab tab that rebuild the indexes.
Few indexes able to rebuild successfully except one index which has character '$'. Any idea how to set the command in the crontab for index with '$'?

Command:
ALTER INDEX SCHEMA_ABC.INDEX$222 REBUILD;

Error:
SQL> ALTER INDEX SCHEMA_ABC.INDEX$ REBUILD;
ALTER INDEX SCHEMA_ABC.INDEX$ REBUILD;
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01418: specified index does not exist

I don't think this is a good idea (actually I think it is a very bad one).
Anyway, when an object name has non alphanumeric character you have to enclose it between ".
But $ as _ is not assumed to be a special character, so it should works without ".
I think you have directly "ALTER INDEX SCHEMA_ABC.INDEX$222 REBUILD;" this in your shell script and "$222" is not a shell variable. If this is the case you have to espace $: "ALTER INDEX SCHEMA_ABC.INDEX\$222 REBUILD;"

Thanks.

My index name is INDEX$222.
Trying to put " like "ALTER INDEX SCHEMA_ABC.INDEX$222 REBUILD;"

seem it wouldn't work with error message
SP2-0734: unknown command beginning ""ALTER IND..." - rest of line ignored.

As you didn't put what is the real script, I can't help you more.
I didn't say you to put the whole statement between " but only the object name. Moreover I said this is likely not the problem.
