Hi All,<br /><br />   Does the command ALTER INDEX take exclusive lock on the objects involved? Specifically I am
lookingat ALTER INDEX ... SET TABLESPACE. The docs do not mention anything about this. I assume it would, and can do a
fewtests (or look at code :) ), but asking here wouldn't hurt!<br /><br />Best regards,<br />-- <br
