Here's an example of a CREATE TABLE where you can define the names of Primary key.Unique key or Check Constraints - so that the indexes are not Oracle defaults - but what you specify !! Also,you can use the following to rename index names

ALTER INDEX <index name> RENAME TO <new index name> ;

CREATE TABLE CCAS.CCAS_PAYOR (
LAST_UPDATED_BY VARCHAR2(35),
LAST_UPDATED_DATE DATE,

  FEDERAL_ID         VARCHAR2(20), 
  FIRST_TRANS        DATE,

LAST_CASHED_TRANS DATE,

  CONSTRAINT CCAS_CCPYR_START_END_C1
    CHECK ( START_DATE <= END_DATE ) , 
  CONSTRAINT CCAS_CCPYR_ROUTE_ACCOUNT_U1
    UNIQUE (ROUTE, ACCOUNT)    USING INDEX 
     TABLESPACE CCPYR_INDX PCTFREE 10,

  CONSTRAINT CCAS_CCPYR_PAYORID_PK
  PRIMARY KEY ( PAYOR_ID )
    USING INDEX
     TABLESPACE CCPYR_INDX PCTFREE 10)
TABLESPACE CCPYR_DATA

When I create tables with primary keys, Oracle gives the indexes a default name.

Can I rename these indexes with meaningful names, or do I need to drop and recreate my tables, amending create table statements to explicitly name the indexes?
