It is somewhat strange situation you are having here.

Buffering and indexing don't go very well together.
Buffering is tightly associated with shared data access, while
indexing/reindexing is kind of operation done at design time and then
once in a blue moon (when/if you face corruption) and requires EXCLUSIVE access.
So if you have exclusive access, why you need buffering?
If you don't then you simply cannot do it; next to error u r getting now, next one will read 'Table must be open exclusively'

update:
Cannot be done on views eighter because they are at the end just a
cursors which means dbfs


Can u pls explain what exactly you are trying to do/achieve with this?
