Hi Gurus,

How do I create 2 unique indexes (STDID,PAYGRP) and (ACCTNO,PAYGRP) on the same table ?

I created the first index successfully but encountered the error "ORA-01452: cannot CREATE UNIQUE INDEX; duplicate keys found" when I tried to create the 2nd index.

SELECT INDEX_NAME,TABLE_NAME,UNIQUENESS FROM USER_INDEXES WHERE TABLE_NAME='SPY_ADHOC_PAYMENT'

INDEX_NAME                     TABLE_NAME                     UNIQUENES
------------------------------ ------------------------------ ---------
U_SPYADH_1                     SPY_ADHOC_PAYMENT              UNIQUE

SQL> SELECT * FROM USER_IND_COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME='SPY_ADHOC_PAYMENT';

INDEX_NAME                     TABLE_NAME                     COLUMN_NAME
------------------------------ ------------------------------
------------------------------
U_SPYADH_1                     SPY_ADHOC_PAYMENT              STDID
U_SPYADH_1                     SPY_ADHOC_PAYMENT              PAYGRP

SQL> CREATE UNIQUE INDEX U_SPYADH_2 ON SPY_ADHOC_PAYMENT (ACCTNO,PAYGRP); CREATE UNIQUE INDEX U_SPYADH_2 ON SPY_ADHOC_PAYMENT (ACCTNO,PAYGRP)

                                  *

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01452: cannot CREATE UNIQUE INDEX; duplicate keys found

Any advice ? Thanks.

Regds,
New Bee
