The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Creating an index on Oracle 10g?? Sounds simple...

Asked by aidan_c in Oracle Database

Tags: 10g, oracle, slow

Hi

I am working with Oracle 10g (64 bit) on a HP Dual processor machine (Opteron 64 bit).. (On Windows XP 64 bit)

I have a large table with 400 million rows.

I want to create an index on this table but it is taking hours. (After 8 hours I killed it). I changed a few parameters in the init.ora file, kicked off the CREATE INDEX again but it has been running for 5 hours now which is just way too slow. I realise that Oracle 10g 64 bit for Windows XP is pretty new on the block but I think I have some incorrect settings in the init.ora.

Could you advise me what basic settings I should be looking at, what other areas can be optimised, is there anything obvious I should be looking at?? ( I could send you the init.ora if you like??)

Any help would be much appreciated!!

Thanks
Aidan
