Re: Table Fragmentation

Posted By: Emiliano Romero
Date: Wednesday, 3 March 2010, at 3:21 p.m.

In Response To: Re: Table Fragmentation (Kern Doe)

Ok, first thanks to every one that help me. Uday Kale give's me the
solution. The problem was that in my table I have 4 foreign keys, and
that implicit indexes are not fragmented with the database fragmentation
expresion. I remove that foreign keys and it took 1 second to detach 30
millions rows. Uday told me that explicitly creating those index before
constraint creation should fragment index in the same way as table is
fragmented.

Hope this's the same problem that Joe has.

Thanks again and regards
