John -

I had this same question not too long ago. This is what I found in the documentation.

Only the following operations can make use of the NOLOGGING option:

  alter table...move partition 
  alter table...split partition 
  alter index...split partition 
  alter index...rebuild 
  alter index...rebuild partition 

  create table...as select
  create index
  direct load with SQL*Loader
  direct load INSERT

  Other SQL statements (such as UPDATE, DELETE, conventional path   INSERT, and various DDL statements not listed above) are unaffected   by the NOLOGGING attribute of the schema object.
