When trying to execute
ALTER INDEX SCOTT.MYTABLE_U01 REBUILD ONLINE TABLESPACE DATA32K_NOTDEone of the tables returned an error during the online rebuild:
ERROR at line 1: ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1 ORA-01450: maximum key length (3800) exceeded
This error is normally worked around by one of the following actions:
1. Rebuild the database with a larger blocksize
2. Add a new tablespace with a larger blocksize (my preferred solution)
3. Make the index smaller, meaning drop and recreate the index and omit one or more of the previously indexed columns
This is documented in Doc ID 747107.1 "ORA-01450 Error on Create Index" at Oracle Support.
For me though, it worked by simply changing
REBUILD ONLINE
to
REBUILD
and the index rebuild executed without problems.
The Oracle Documentation for 12cR1 has a few restrictions regarding the use of online rebuilds, but none of them seems relevant to the error I observed.
