Hi,
I'd like to find all unused indexes. Is there a view in Oracle which will let me do so? I am using 8.1.7

There is no such view in 8i. It 9i yes.

So far I have seen only script for monitoring index storage usage Here but not for the index usage by itself. Oracle realized that and came up with a new column in their dd views.

Hope that helps,

Pretty hard to do, if you suspect an index is not being used you could always put it in its own tablespace. Then all you have to do is monitor how much activity that tablespace has... Slow process, but it's not like you want to be a cowboy when removing indexes anyway.
