I have a question about index creation. When I run create index xyz ... tablespace indx_ts ...
at what stage "sort_area_size" (and temp space if sort_area_size is not large enough) is used during the process? Is my understanding correct that the index will be created in "indx_ts" (not temp tablespace). As long as we have enough space in "indx_ts" we are fine. I thought sort_area_size and temp space is used for sorting only. Guang ---------- Original Message: In respone to someone's question about improving exp/imp speed I had posted the following quite some time ago. Most of it may help you. - Kirti <snip> 9) After the import is completed, set sort_area_size, sort_area_retained_size to a higher value (whatever is adequate and possible) to speed up index build process. Also, consider TEMPORARY type temp tablespace with properly configured initial and next (multiples of sort_area_size) extents. Make sure temp tablespace has ample room, should index build processes perform disk sorts. Also, make sure quota is okay on tablespaces for primary key constraint indexes. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: gmei INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
