Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Syntax for foreign key
Indexes are only automatically created to enforce primary key and unique
constraints.
If you want an index to match the columns of a foreign key constraint, you
will have to do it separately.
P.S. If you already have a non-unique index on the PK or unique constraint
column(s), then Oracle will use that one to enforce the PK or unique
constraint.
