Dennis,

I don't think you can add an index this way. I've always had to add the index separately. It would be great if this was possible.

I'm trying to add a foreign key constraint to a table, and specify the tablespace and pctfree. Here is the syntax I'm using:

alter table jobproductoutrigger add (

   constraint fk_jobprodu_currjobfa_currjobf foreign key (      jobnbr, sourcefiscalyear )
   references currjobfact (jobnbr, sourcefiscalyear)    using index tablespace index73
   pctfree 5)
/

This produced the error:

ERROR at line 5:
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis

Can someone spot what I'm missing? This is Oracle 8.1.6.
