Single index for the whole table. When any index is defined for temp
table engine should add ATTACHMENT_ID segment to it automagically.

BTW, note the spec for FK constraints for temp tables:
---
5) The referenced table shall be a base table.
Case:
a) If the referencing table is a persistent base table, then the
referenced table shall be a persistent base
table.
b) If the referencing table is a global temporary table, then the
referenced table shall be a global temporary
table.
---

This spec makes FK implementation trivial if we have ATTACHMENT_ID
column. Both UQ index and partner index are going to have ATTACHMENT_ID
column and linking them does not require any special handling.
