Look for the index's partnum or indexname in the sysmaster:sysptnprof table. If there's no activity there, then it's not being used. Art S. Kagel ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard Ramsower <ids@iiug.org> To: ids@iiug.org At: 11/07 13:57:35 Does anyone know how I can tell if an index is being utilized or not? I am in the process of re-orging several tables that have 6 or 7 indexes defined to them. I would like to be able to drop some of these and not create them again, but I do not know how to tell if a particular index has been used.

Hi, Art is right , but three additions: 1) take care if you run regularly onstat -z (resetting statistic counters) AND take care if you have special processes (e.g. programs running only once a month) 2) if your database was created under IDS7 you may have attached indices and won't have entries in sysptnprof for the different indices 3) I think TABLESPACE_STATS 1 must be set in the onconfig file to collect the counters.
