You need to query the data dictionary. I forget the actual table that holds the index information, but if you query "All_Tables", if you have permission, then you might see it there.
I'm thinking it was "All_Indexes" or "User_Indexes" or something like that. Do this in sqlplus: SELECT * FROM ALL_Tables WHERE 1=0 This query should give you the column names w/o any records. This should help you get started finding the table the contains the index information. (It's been a while since I use sqlplus, however. YMMV) You should contact your Oracle sales rep and have them send you a few of the Oracle data dictionary posters. They are quite handy.
