No Logging will prevent redo logging of the creation process of the index. Advantage, this reduces the overhead on the system and reduces the time of creation as no entries are inserted in the redo log. Disadvantage, you may not be able to recover the object as no entries exist in the redo logs. One needs to take frequent backups or a complete backup after a major objects creation process has been carried out with this option.
