 dear all,
i have some problem regarding index in our database.
when i fire the query :
select * from all_indexes where table_name like 'PARA';
i get the following index:
index name : BIN$G9QHFTx8iILgQAB/AQBvkQ==$0
it is in tablespace 'APP_INDEX'.
status = Valid.

The problem is : when i try to drop this index with command
drop index BIN$G9QHFTx8iILgQAB/AQBvkQ==$0;

the error comes like following:
ORA-00953: missing or invalid index name.

i afraid that the original index ( named PARA_X ) is corrupted..

the database is up for 24 hours..

So please guide me how should i drop this index.

It looks like you are on Oracle 10g.

Whenever a object is dropped from the database (10g), the dropped object is kept in recyclebin area with starting BIN$ name. If you feel the dropped objects are not required, you can clear the recyclebin.

To know the dropped objects in recyclebin.

SQL> select object_name,original_name,type from user_recyclebin;
OBJECT_NAME ORIGINAL_NAME TYPE
------------------------------ -------------------------------- -------------------------
BIN$rbbGpoBRTUG9bnVcSu1vMA==$0 USER_NAME_KEY INDEX

To Purge the recyclebin.

SQL> purge recyclebin;

Recyclebin purged.

Regards,
Sabdar Syed.
