Hi cherie, In an ideal world i would like to use separate tablespaces for indexes.
however first check what lun configuration was used to design your mount points. might not buy you much if you have a set of index tablespaces under same mount point in terms of performance at least. might also not buy you much if you have a set of index tablespaces under differnet mount point (assuming lousy lun configuration) but under both above worst cases .. it atleast avoids some maintainance haggles .. so to cut to the chase .. diff indexes on diff tblspcs makes sense makes even more sense to also have a tete-tete with the sysadmin and understand your how many mount points you have and how they have been configured. I generally go by the 101 perf book by gaja and kirti which uses the principle of having 3 categories(tablespaces) like small/medium/large or something like that. so once you have these tablespace, just start dumping the indexes in them based on the sizes of the indexes. hth deepak --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > I am rebuilding some indexes for a 20-Gig table.
