Not usually. If an index is active when a record version is created,
the index will be updated immediately. That's pretty important. If
the index updates were deferred to commit, your transaction wouldn't
see its own updates with indexed queries. Inactive indexes are
recreated when the transaction that activates them commits.

Err... That's going to increase the commit time. Activation recreates
the whole index, so if you have an index with 10,000 records and store
another 5,000 records, you'll be indexing 15,000 records. And, during
your load, queries on the table that could have been indexed will be
full table scans.


Good luck,
