Explanation

Oracle supports online index rebuild using ALTER INDEX ... REBUILD ONLINE, which allows the index to be rebuilt while users continue to access the table. You don't need to drop and recreate the index. While fragmentation resolution does depend on index type, the key capability for 24/7 systems is online rebuild.
