Days between the start and finish of an online table redefinition

edited Jul 10, 2017 9:40AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 12 commentsAnswered ✓

Hello,

I started my online table redefinition with DBMS_REDEFINITION.START_REDEF_TABLE.  After executing this, I then started the DBMS_REDEFINITION.COPY_TABLE_DEPENDENTS.  But after executing the COPY_TABLE_DEPENDENTS, I need to wait for a number of days (4-5) before finishing the redefinition with DBMS_REDEFINITION.FINISH_REDEF_TABLE.  Table redefinition should still complete right?  I was thinking that executing DBMS_REDEFINITION.SYNC_INTERIM_TABLE periodically would reduce the amount of work done when finishing the table definition, am I correct in this assumption? If the table to be redefined is updated/changed fairly frequently, should I also run the SYNC_INTERIM_TABLE frequently?

Howdy, Stranger!
