    How you do it? Easy, just ALTER INDEX xyz REBUILD.

    The bigger question, though, is why would you want to do it? If you are just rebuilding indexes because you think it's a good idea to periodically do it, then think again.

    To further what Jeff said here is a post from asktom , When to rebuild indexes.

    This topic has been beaten to death pretty well.

    rebuilding indexes

    You could also go for rebuilding indexes online

    e.g: alter index xyz rebuild online;

    Perhaps you missed something. You do not need to rebuild indexes unless there is a problem with an index or you want to move it to a different tablespace. So it does not matter if you rebuild online or not!!!!
