The magic phrase is 'NOSEGMENT'.

But, if you're on 9.2.0.x and x < 8, don't create a bitmap nosegment index, or you won't be able to drop it. ;-)

(Just hit that bug, and applied the 9.2.0.8 patch yesterday to fix the problem.)

Subject: Shadow Indexes

Does someone here recall the syntax for creating metadata only indexes?

This for use by the SQL tuning advisors, etc.

I can't recall the syntax, and cannot find it.

Thanks,
