I am running a 7.3.4 database (please stifle the laughter and upgrade recommendations, for reasons beyond my control, the client refuses).

I am desperate to improve performance. I have the hardware people trying to stripe my disks now, but I'd like to defrag my tables, can anyone whose done this on 7.X give me a step by step, I'm having real trouble locating one.

Also, I was thinking that after that I would drop and then re-add all the indexes in the system. Can I expect any real perf gain?

Thanks

two different way ... ( BACKUP FIRST )
create temporary tables ...
drop main tables and recreate it with correct initial etc...

Use exp/imp
export tables ...
drop them
recreate them with correct initial next ....
and import them ...

don't forget indexes ...
Performance gain depend on fragmentation...

Travis,
To defrag a table the best way would be to export the table, drop the table and import it backin. The indexes you can recreate ( to extract the index creation syntax you can use the indexfilr option of import and then extract the create index from the log file) --> Read the oracle utilities guide on on to use exp imp etc.

To gain performance benefit you can place the indexes on different disk and controller than the table.
