Question

I want to create indices on a table. I didn’t realize it will grow so fast in size that I’m not even able to select a handful of rows. Now, I want this table to be so alike another table. So I want to check the indices and the exact create index statement used on that table.

Answer 1

Another way is to query USER_INDEXES table using the particular table name and get the DDL using DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL()

SELECT INDEX_NAME FROM USER_INDEXES WHERE TABLE_NAME LIKE 'MY_TABLE'

SELECT CAST(DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('INDEX','PGIT_POLICY_1') AS VARCHAR2(4000)) 
FROM DUAL
