    Rebuilding Indexes: Alter Index Rebuild

    Uploaded by

    Srinivas Surabhi
    Rebuilding indexes periodically, such as after large data changes, can improve performance. The SQL "ALTER INDEX <index_name> REBUILD" rebuilds the index. Adding "UNRECOVERABLE" speeds it up by avoiding redo logs. When rebuilding in Oracle 7.3, specify a tablespace to control where the index is rebuilt.

    Rebuilding indexes

    Periodically, and typically after large deletes or inserts, it is worth rebuilding indexes. The SQL for this is:
    Alter index <index_name> rebuild;

    Alternatively, the following performs the same, but avoids writing to the redo logs and thus speeds up the index rebuild:
    Alter index <index_name> rebuild unrecoverable;

    Note: If performing this under Oracle 7.3 then be sure to specify the destination tablespace, ie:
    Alter index <index_name> rebuild tablespace <tablespace>;

    Otherwise the index will be moved to the temporary tablespace.

    This page represents one page of many pages of notes I made whilst working with Oracle 7 through to 10i. I now no longer work with Oracle databases, but hope that these notes will continue to be of benefit to others.
