A couple of corrections:

The length of the full key is not stored, it's derived in the dump For columns longer than 127 bytes the column length is stored as 2 bytes, not three bytes.

The length reported in the ORA-01450 is only about the key length, and does not consider lock, flag and row directory bytes.

| Hi list,
| I'm trying to figure out the exact formula Oracle uses when computing the
index key length (for non-FBI and FBI with NLSSORT), and I think I'm stuck pretty close, so any help would be appreciated. |
