Could you conclusively say that? What about those obscure indexes that may have been added for long running reports that get run once every quarter / year end what ever.. Just for example.. Without knowing the nature of the system as well.. It would be pretty hard to tell if an index was *never* used.

One option might be to monitor x$bh for blocks belonging to that object every ten minutes for a week. If it doesn't appear, the object can pretty conclusively be called "not in use".

To answer your question.. If you are using Oracle9i you can find that by querying V$OBJECT_USAGE after turning the monitoring option for the index. If it is pre Oracle9i database there is no direct way of doing this.
