I want to create indices in parallel so I want to use dbms_job. then when that is complete I want to analyze the table.

I thought about using dbms_lock and a pl/sql table, but this is inefficient and wastes CPUs because there is no 'lock monitor' like the wait,notify,synchronize in java and POSIX pthreads, so I have to keep looping and checking the pl/sql table.

any better way?
