Subject Re: object index is in use

Can't do it, Duilio...

From langref manual:

"Description DROP INDEX removes a user-defined index from a database.
An index can be dropped by its creator, the SYSDBA user, or any user
with operating system root privileges.

IMPORTANT You cannot drop system-defined indexes, such as those for
UNIQUE, PRIMARY KEY, and FOREIGN KEY.

An index in use is not dropped until it is no longer in use."

:-(
