Describe when to rebuild an index.

When we execute more number of insert and update queries for a particular database we need to rebuild indexes. Secondly when we execute a lot of delete queries inside a database.

The method that can be used for deciding for re-building of index is by checking the blevel column inside DBA_INDEXES. When it is greater than four we can rebuild indexes.

When a row included inside the index is deleted then the index can be rebuild.
