I have narrowed down the problem to domain indexes which get created because of Oracle text indexes which my application needs. Unfortunately, I cannot get rid of domain indexes so stuck with it god knows until when.

I have yet another problem with 11g, cannot create db control most of the time. Oracle support looked at it and there is a bug about it on metalink, yet they will not document my problem as a bug and fix it. Received on Tue Apr 06 2010 - 19:33:32 CDT
