Hi,

There is an index on a table on our prduction database which I want to replicate on our new test database.

I used a rather standard method to create the index and ended up with having to drop it since the performance is unacceptably poor on inserts. However, in the production database, there is no such problem.

How do I know if any special options were used while creating the index in production?

Here is the statement I used:

create index IDX_GP_PRIMARYUSER_CID on GP_PRIMARYUSER (CID,GPID,PUID)
tablespace INDX

What I want to do now is somehow extract the index creation statement from the production database and execute it on the test database.

Is there a way to do this??

Thank you very much!!

if you cna connect a oracle enterprise manager console (oracle client for short) to the production database then connect using that , select the index, right click on it and select show object DDL.
you will get the sql to create the index similar to production system.

if you can then look in the user_indexes table using the index_name as the key. you can get some index creatiion parameters from there.

Hi Pradeep... thanks a lot for your response!!

Unfortunately, I can't connect to the database using a console of the type you mentioned. The reason is that I don't have direct access to the server from my PC. I telnet through a string of servers to access the production DB.

I tried the second option you gave me (querying USER_INDEXES), but I can't figure out what information is actually useful to me. An application like PL/SQL developer must be building the SQLs by running queries on that very table. So what I need now is the query to build the SQL!!

Use DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL to get the source of the index.

Pradeep - thanks for that. I think joy_division has provided the name of the function that returns the DDL statement for creating the index. However, there seems to be a problem....

Joy - Thanks a lot!! That was exactly what I was looking for... But, I just discovered that this doesn't work for Oracle 8i Sad

If you know any workaround for Oracle 8i, please let me know... thank you!!

You have mentioned that after creating index, performance was
slow. This may be due to several reasons.

For getting the index creation statement from existing index,
you can export that table (where index is associated). Then
import with options indexfile=flnm rows=N. (rows=N is a must otherwise rows also get imported).

exp user/pwd@db file=expfl tables=(abc)
imp user/pwd@db file=expfl rows=N indexfile=abcind.sql log=abc.log

Edit the file abcind.sql and extract index creation statements.

Regards,

MSMallya

I'm sorry, I didn't see that you were using 8i. MSMallya gave you a solution, otherwise you can export with ROWS=N and then edit the "mostly" ascii file and find the create index you are looking for.

Thanks MSMallya,joy_division!! I combined your solutions and got what I wanted.

I did an export with rows=N and extracted the index creation DDL from the file.
