Yep. As you're loading, Oracle keeps trying to re-balance the tree. Oracle 8i
handles this better. I have a client who avoided this problem by reversing the order
of the digits of the sequence generated key, so, for example, if your next key is
123456789, you would reverse that and use 987654321 instead.

Every now and then we get the situation were application grows to a
standstill as far as loading data. These should all be straight forward
inserts. Rebuilding the indexes causes the problem to go away. These
indexes are all based on primary key values like sequence numbers. Now I
know that indexes that are of that type will not have a balanced tree and
will periodically need to be rebuilt but to me that should just affect
things that are trying to select from the index. Problem is, it takes a
full day to rebuild the indexes on this database and we cannot do this while
the app is up due to activity levels keeping the tables locked.
Does this sound like normal behavior for indexes?
