Use this statement to validate an index, including index statistics.
VALIDATE INDEX [ [ owner.]table-name.] { index-name | table-name }

The VALIDATE INDEX statement also verifies that the statistics reported on the specified index(es) are accurate. If they are not accurate, an error is generated.

Must be the owner of the table on which the index is created, have DBA authority, or have REMOTE DBA authority (SQL Remote).
