Hi all, I have a large data load to run into a partitioned table. With indexes the load takes over 24 hours, without on the order of 3 hours, obviously, I don't want to mess with the indexes until after the job completes. So I try to drop to local indexes and get ORA-14076. Fair enough. I go to metastink and see note 107976.1...exactly what I want. So I try to use it...and get ORA-01502. Has anybody done something like this and found there's an extra caveat from the note? Every other note oracle has seems to point back to the original one I am using. I'm on Solaris 8/Oracle 9.0.1.3.
Any help would be appreciated. Here's the output I'm getting... SQL> select index_name, status from dba_ind_partitions where partition_name = 'TYPE13'; INDEX_NAME STATUS ------------------------------ -------- I_BUY_PR_PCE_TYPE_HIST_3 USABLE I_BUY_PR_PCE_TYPE_HIST_2 USABLE I_BUY_PR_PCE_TYPE_HIST_1 USABLE PK_BUY_PRICE_PCE_TYPE_HISTORY USABLE SQL> ALTER TABLE buy_price_piece_type_history MODIFY PARTITION type13 2 UNUSABLE LOCAL INDEXES; Table altered.
