what is your sort_area_size? Try changing it to something huge (say 200MB)for the session... alter session set sort_area_size = 200000000;
Kevin -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2003 5:30 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi. I'm trying to tune an index build. The table currently has about 65mil rows and I'm building a unique index, which takes about 55min to finish. The table size is about 3.4G, index is about the same size. I have tried different degrees of parallelism (up to 32), nologging is set in the create index script as well as on the tablespace. I noticed a lot of i/o waits during the buid and a lot of paging to and from filesystem, the paging area however appears to be unused. when I do lsps -a, it only shows 1% usage. What should be my next move? What should I look at? i have increased db_cache to 800M, sort area to 50M thanks Gene __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
