Hi Deepak, You're right, bitmap indexes are not supported for online rebuilds but the indexes in question aren't bitmaps, they're compressed and I haven't found any such restrictions in the docs. Neither have I found any restrictions on doing online rebuilds with compute statistics and the ORA-08108 error it generates is a bogus message, IMHO.
Judging by Larry Elkins post I'm concluding this is a bug that was fixed in 9i but I'm still curious if there are any 8i platforms that have the fix.
