How To Drop an Index? Empty How To Drop an Index?

If you don't need an existing index any more, you should delete it with the DROP INDEX
statement. Here is an example SQL script:
CREATE TABLE student (id NUMBER(5) PRIMARY KEY,
first_name VARCHAR(80) NOT NULL,
last_name VARCHAR(80) NOT NULL,
birth_date DATE NOT NULL,
social_number VARCHAR(80) UNIQUE NOT NULL);
Table created.
CREATE INDEX student_birth_date ON student(birth_date);
Index created.
SELECT index_name, table_name, uniqueness
FROM USER_INDEXES WHERE table_name = 'STUDENT';
INDEX_NAME TABLE_NAME UNIQUENES
----------------------- --------------------- ---------
SYS_C004129 STUDENT UNIQUE
SYS_C004130 STUDENT UNIQUE
STUDENT_BIRTH_DATE STUDENT NONUNIQUE
DROP INDEX STUDENT_BIRTH_DATE;
Index dropped.
