This may not do all you need but it will list out all the indexes in dba_indexes that do not have a corresponding entry in the dba_constraints table. You might have to put a few other criteria on it ... but this might get you in the right direction.

select

  a.owner, 
  a.index_name, 
  a.table_owner, 
  a.table_name

from
dba_indexes a
where
not exists (

      select '' 
      from 
        dba_constraints b 
      where 
        a.owner = b.owner and 
        a.index_name = b.constraint_name)

I am trying to find out what indexes are in the database only for performance
reasons and do not enforce a constraint. What would be the query to do that?
