Re: File Reorg - Cons

Lakeview Technology (of Mimix fame) offers a product that allows you to reorganize a file while things are live... all it takes is disk space at least as big as the original file. The file is reorganized, along with its logical views. At a Magic Moment when all activity against the file has ended, the application swaps out the old file with the deleted records, and swaps in the shiny new reorganized copy.

It works very well.

I noted alot of suspicion when I attempted to set up a file reorg process. Just getting lists of those with large amounts of deleted records. Is there some possible occurance that would be a detriment? I am of course referring to off hours running.
