If I recall correctly, the only (reliable?) way of determining this in 8i is to use stored outlines for a purpose other than intended. I believe you would enable the creation of stored outlines and then use your app as usual, and them some time later check user_outline_hints to see which indexes it has stored in the outlines. I've never done it myself, but I read about it on Tom Kyte's site. :)

All,

Is there a way to identify unused indexes in Oracle 8i. I know that it is easy to check with 9i. I would appreciate if you could share your experience (or ideas) with me.

Thanks,
Bob
