Another option you have if your Oracle version is high enough is to use Stored Outlines. Enable automatic generation of stored outlines for a full processing cycle as defined by the application (full month, Qtr, etc.) Then extract all of the indexes used during that cycle from OL$HINTS.HINT_TEXT (i.e.. WHERE HINT_TEXT LIKE 'INDEX%'). If all of your application code has been traversed in the cycle then this list will be pretty darn close to real usage. Even if you can't wait until year-end processing, you can eliminate the bulk of code to be mined for embedded SQL and focus on those once-a-year programs.
