How can you determine if an index needs to be dropped and rebuilt?..

Answer / Rupesh Kumar Singh

"To determine whether an index needs to be dropped and rebuilt, you can consider the following factors: 1) High Index Fragmentation: Run DBMS_SPACE_ADVISOR.REPORT_INDEX_USAGE to check if there is a high level of fragmentation in the indexes. 2) Slow Query Performance: Monitor query execution statistics using tools like Oracle AWR, ASH, or EXPLAIN PLAN to identify any indexes that are causing slow performance. 3) Index Stats Stale: Check if the statistics on the index are stale by running DBMS_STATS.GATHER_INDEX_STATS."
