Hi ,
While doing a online table redef , I am getting below error . Could you please help me here .
Done with can_redef_table with rowid,start_redef_table,copy_table_dependents and errored out on below statement
exec dbms_redefinition.sync_interim_table('MYSCHEMA', 'ORIGINALTAB', 'INTERIMTAB');
ORA-42009: error occurred while synchronizing the redefinition

Answer 1

Adding to above .
I am Redefining a normal table to a partitioned table . We have a index in this original table . Do we need to follow the below in this scenrio or oracle will take care using copy_table_deendencies .
--from doc
4.Manually create any local indexes on the interim table.
CREATE INDEX int_sales_index ON int_salestable
(s_saledate, s_productid, s_custid)
TABLESPACE tbs_low_freq;
I even tried redefining a normal table with no dependencies to a partitioned table and found no errors like above .
Does this mean that we have to create dependecis manually while redef table to partition as below
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/misc/PartitioningAnExistingTable.php
--it says
Create Constraints and Indexes
If there is delay between the completion of the previous operation and moving on to finish the redefinition, it may be sensible to resynchronize the interim table before building any constraints and indexes. The resynchronization of the interim table is initiated using the following command.
-- Optionally synchronize new table with interim data before index creation
BEGIN
dbms_redefinition.sync_interim_table(
uname => USER,
orig_table => 'BIG_TABLE',
int_table => 'BIG_TABLE2');
END;
/The constraints and indexes from the original table must be applied to interim table using alternate names to prevent errors. The indexes should be created with the appropriate partitioning scheme to suit their purpose.
-- Add new keys, FKs and triggers.
ALTER TABLE big_table2 ADD (
CONSTRAINT big_table_pk2 PRIMARY KEY (id)
CREATE INDEX bita_created_date_i2 ON big_table2(created_date) LOCAL;
CREATE INDEX bita_look_fk_i2 ON big_table2(lookup_id) LOCAL;
ALTER TABLE big_table2 ADD (
CONSTRAINT bita_look_fk2
FOREIGN KEY (lookup_id)
REFERENCES lookup(id)
-- Gather statistics on the new table.
EXEC DBMS_STATS.gather_table_stats(USER, 'BIG_TABLE2', cascade => TRUE);
