The request for so called "default index tablespace" has been out there since the late Jurassic/ early Cretassic  (version 7.0.16) but Oracle doesn't want to accommodate it. It looks like they don't want to have database
which is too easy to handle so that DBA staff wouldn't get spoiled. I believe that the only way to get Oracle to do it is to pressure IBM to put something like that as a UDB feature. That would motivate Oracle Corp. to do
something about "default index tablespaces". Obviously, questions and requests from the despised creatures like Oracle RDBMS users (known as "suckers" within the Oracle Corp) are not nearly enough. I personally asked
Ken Jacobs for that on EOUG which was held on 1995 (I'm not sure about the year) in Maastricht, NL. Few
months after (June, 2005) its still not there. May be, it will work in July 3005. No guarantees for anything earlier then that.
