ahhhhhhhhhhh, mostly right. I found in v8.1.6 that if I use a non-unique index to enforce a unique/primary key constraint that the index does not drop when you drop the constraint.

Subject: RE: Can I partition my primary key constraint index?
Hello, Cherie,
Short note first - when you drop primary key the associated index will be
dropped too.
To partition the index you will create this index first and then
alter table <table name> add constraint <index name> primary key(<column
list>);

Oracle will automatically create an index for your primary
key constraint.
I have a lot of large partitioned tables in my data warehouse.
All of my primary key indexes are non-partitioned. I would
like them to be partitioned.
When I drop the constraint and re-enable it, can I specify
at that time that I want the index to be partitioned? Or do I
need to drop my index and rebuild it to be partitioned after
the fact?
Is there any problem with having partitioned primary key indexes?
Thanks,
Cherie
