I haven't checked this so I may be totally off-base here.... but dba_objects

has a column called timestamp which is the last time the object was changed.... I used to use it to find out when a package or a procedure had been changed. It MIGHT tell you when an index was rebuilt.

Caution: in Oracle7 it was a varchar2(75) column, in 8.1.6 they've gotten some sense and it's down to varchar2(19).

It MIGHT work.
