hello
can anyone tell which is right

when we issue a Alter Index... Rebuild command ,
1) is it the index dropped and then recreated with the same name or
2) a new index is created and then the old one is dropped

if the second case is right then what will be the name of the index. because we cannot have two indexes in the same tablespace with the same name at the same time.

pls clarify

thanks in advance
