And what exactly is the issue or problem you keep referring to?  Doesn't the PARALLEL clause work on indexes with only one column or _expression_?  Or is there some other issue I'm missing?

Thanks...

Tim,
 
Yes, That I what I meant. However, my this experience was with (alter )rebuidling of indexes using parallel clause. However, I did not use with CREATE INDEX this clause but I think the problem was with alter index only.
 
It was originally with 7.3.4.3 version as I did not had any bad experience with 7.3.4.4. But again it came up in 7.3.4.5 which needed it to patch again. If I remember correctly it was year 2001/2.
 
I was supporting Oracle Finacial databases and I have to rebuilt indexes after reorg of tables (after yearly data purging)  with large undexes and I got this issue with 7.3.4.3. I had done similar excercise with other client with 7.3.4.4 but no issue with that version.  Later I observed that this issue is with indexes having multiple keys. For both versions patch was available to fix that issue.
 
One year back one of my collegue had similar type of issue with 9.X version. I don't know exact version but she has to drop and recreate index again and the issue was resolved. She then upgraded her database to 9.2.0.8 later and did not observe such issue.
