1525.0. "CREATE INDEX OPTION" by TKTVFS::WATANABE_YA () Mon Mar 10 1997 14:44

I have a Question at Oracle Create Index Option.
I try to SQL-Loader(rows,skip,load option) Sandy-san's sample sctipt used.
it is very fast. Thank you!!

but, I try to Create Index (NOSORT option) isn't work. very slowly
(ORA-01409: NOSORT option may not be used: rows are not in ascending order).

now I used create index  ... "unrecoverable parallel (degree 6) option"
Do you have any ideas more faster  create index any other options ?

Thanks your help.

The CREATE INDEX with the NOSORT option will work only if the data in the
table is actually in sorted order. NOSORT option is pretty good. But
the parallel and unrecoverable options work effectively. How much of
sort area are you having ?

I had done some experiments last year on tuning creation of indexes in 
an Oracle7 database. A whitepaper on this is available at our group's 
web-site at http://www-spe.pa.dec.com/groups/dbtc/documents/
Its called "Creating Indexes in Oracle - A Closer Look". It might be 
useful for you.
