RE: how to find INDEX CORRUPTION ???

analyze table MSG_HISTORY validate structure cascade;

If there is a problem with the table or any indexes, you should receive an error message. Rebuild that object.

Validating the structure of the table locks it up so don't do this while anyone is using the table especially if it's a large table with a lot of indexes.
