What is the performance difference between local text index and domain text index in oracle? What is the performance difference between local text index and domain text index in oracle? Also what is the cost of rebuilding the domain text index when I have to split just one partition? Does the whole text index being rebuilt?

Thanks,

Sean Nguyen
Sean, I believe that the local text index is part of the Oracle Text feature of Oracle that is specific to working with documents, such as Web sites, digital libraries, document or warehouses. While the Domain Indexes are indexes that we use in day-to-day.

The following documentation will be helpful:

(In the third chapter there is information about the indexes)
