Hi Mark,
The index doesn't have to be dropped if you use the KEEP INDEX option (9i).
Cheers

No gotchas that I'm aware of.
I look at it as an adavantage, because when you're doing table maintenance, you can disable the PK/UK constraint, and the corresponding index won't be dropped. In the case of a unique index, any time you diable the corresponding constraint, the index will be dropped. (It has to be, else the column would still have the unique property, due to the index.)
