This script determines whether an index is a good candidate for a rebuild or for
a bitmap index. All indexes for a given schema or for a subset of schema’s are
analyzed (except indexes under SYS and SYSTEM)
Instructions
Execution Environment:
<SQL, SQL*Plus, iSQL*Plus>
Access Privileges:
Requires DBA privileges in order to be executed.
Usage:
sqlplus <user>/<pw> @rebuild.index.sql
Instructions:
Copy the script into the file ind_an.sql. Execute the script from SQL*Plus connected
with a user with DBA privileges. The script requires to parameters:
1. Name of the output file where the report while be generated
2. Name of the SCHEMA to be analyzed.
PROOFREAD THIS SCRIPT BEFORE USING IT! Due to differences in the way text
editors, e-mail packages, and operating systems handle text formatting (spaces,
tabs, and carriage returns), this script may not be in an executable state
when you first receive it. Check over the script to ensure that errors of
this type are corrected.
