Here's an example of a CREATE TABLE where you can define the names of
Primary key.Unique key or Check Constraints - so that the indexes are not
Oracle defaults - but what you specify !!
Also,you can use the following to rename index names

ALTER INDEX <index name> RENAME TO <new index name> ;

CREATE TABLE CCAS.CCAS_PAYOR ( 
  LAST_UPDATED_BY    VARCHAR2(35), 
  LAST_UPDATED_DATE  DATE, 
  FEDERAL_ID         VARCHAR2(20), 
  FIRST_TRANS        DATE, 
  LAST_CASHED_TRANS  DATE, 
  CONSTRAINT CCAS_CCPYR_START_END_C1
    CHECK ( START_DATE <= END_DATE ) , 
  CONSTRAINT CCAS_CCPYR_ROUTE_ACCOUNT_U1
    UNIQUE (ROUTE, ACCOUNT)    USING INDEX 
     TABLESPACE CCPYR_INDX PCTFREE 10, 
  CONSTRAINT CCAS_CCPYR_PAYORID_PK
  PRIMARY KEY ( PAYOR_ID ) 
    USING INDEX 
     TABLESPACE CCPYR_INDX PCTFREE 10) 
 TABLESPACE CCPYR_DATA

When I create tables with primary keys, Oracle gives the indexes a default
name.

Can I rename these indexes with meaningful names, or do I need to drop and
recreate my tables, amending create table statements to explicitly name the
indexes?
