    hi,
    How do you find out if a partitioned table has a global index or a local index?

    Export the table with indexes=y and rows=n. Check the .dmp file.

    How/why the dmp file? I thought you could not look into the dmp file.
    Isn't there a dba view or V$ table that can give that information?

    A .dmp file cannot be opened if it contains table data, if it only has text, it can be opened. Check INDEX_TYPE in DBA_INDEXES for the index. It may be there.

    LOCAL INDEX-GLOBAL INDEX

    Hi, 22nd April 2001 17:57 hrs chennai

    From the ALL_PART_INDEXES you can find out if a partitioned table has a global index or a local index.

    LOCALITY column Indicates whether this partitioned index is LOCAL or GLOBAL

    ALIGNMENT column Indicates whether this partitioned index is PREFIXED or NON-PREFIXED

    Cheers
