Alistair,
The index will be created in the default tablespace of the user, not in the tablespace of the table. Try it and check the results.
If you create the index in the same sql statement as the table (like the primary key) then yes it may end up in the same ts as the table.

If you don't specify an index tablespace the index will occupy the same
tablespace as the Table...
It's probably best to have a tablespace for indexes and one for the tables
If you create an index tablespace, a good name might be 'User_Indexes' ?
I am creating a database from a DDL SQL script. I have created the primary and temp tablespaces because their names were referenced in the code. However, there is no name reference anywhere that I can find for the "index" tablespace. Do I need to create one, or will Oracle take care of that for me? If I have to create on, what name do I give it, or does it matter?
Thanks,
