This post is about “ORA-08104”. We are going t learn how to solve this issue. Steps are mention below:-
While dropping an index, if you are facing ORA-08104 error, then you need to clean it using dbms_repair
Problem:
SQL> drop index eric_icmsprod.SOTRAN00_IDX1;
drop index eric_icmsprod.SOTRAN00_IDX1
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-08104: this index object 94771 is being online built or rebuilt
Cause
you have not installed the patch for Bug 3805539 or are not running on a release that includes this fix.So smon is very slow in cleaning up
Solution:
— check the object_id
SQL> select obj# ,name from obj$ where OBJ#=94771;
OBJ# NAME
———- ——————————
94771 SOTRAN00_IDX1
— Run dbms_repair for the object_id
SQL> declare
lv_ret BOOLEAN;
begin
lv_ret :=dbms_repair.online_index_clean(94771);
end;
/
— Verify whether index has been dropped or not
SQL> select obj# ,name from obj$ where OBJ#=94771;
no rows selected.
