Hi all,

I am facing an issue when I am trying to DROP an index but ending with below error

ORA-01418: specified index does not exist

But when i queried in user_indexes table , I am getting the index data.

SELECT *
FROM   user_indexes
WHERE  index_name = 'f_temp';

My DB version is :-

Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production

Does anyone have any idea about it ?

I have followed the similar topic here but I couldn't get any leads.

Thanks,
Mritunjay

Post the sqlplus output of the entire session.

I suspect a double quote issue.

Yes, from image he posted, this is most likely the case.

Someone has created an index with a name in lower case, find them and shoot them.

You'll need to drop the index referring to its name in double quotes "f_temp". It is the only way.

Thanks Roch,

You Saved my life!!!

After putting Double Quotes with index name, I am able to drop the same.
