Hi,
Can anyone tell me that if i drop an index , do i need to do runstats and reorg ? Do i also need to recompile the programs which were using the index ? What would happen if i drop the index , do no do the runstats and reorg but donot recompile the program.
Waiting for the reply
Thanks ! |

Any number of very bad things. . . If you want a list, run some experiments using tables/data no one else uses.
You should re-compile and rebind all of the programs that use the table. It is doubtful that you will know which queries may use that index.
You surely want to do runstats. You may or may not want to run a reorg. Suggest you do both. I am very big on problem/surprise avoidance. . .  |

I know which all programs use that index as i have explain reports. I have modified the program to avoid using that index. Actually , there is only 1 program which is using that index ( apparently this index is a secondary index ) and when the index was defined , the size of table was really small but now the size of the table is nearly 500 million times and any structure change causes a problem in the table as well as as Reorg also takes time.
so, is it fine if i recompile just the one program using that index ?[/quote] |

IMHO, no i believe it is not fine. . .
You might "get away" with taking the shortcut, but all i can mention is that it is better to get into the habit following a process that will always work rather than something to save a bit of time.
You really, really don't want to establish a pattern that routine maintenance becomes a new experience every time you make some change. . .
Again, only mho. . .  |
