Gene, it must be a bug in your version. In my database, 10.2.0.2, the index
goes as well:
Connected to:
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.2.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options
SQL> create table test1 (f1 number);
Table created.
SQL> create unique index test1_pk on test1 (f1);
Index created.
SQL> alter table test1 add constraint test1_pk primary key (f1) using
2 index test1_pk;
Table altered.
SQL> alter table test1 disable constraint test1_pk drop index;
Table altered.
SQL> select count(*) from user_indexes where index_name='TEST1_PK';
COUNT(*)
----------
0
SQL>
It's probably the infamous RTFM bug in your version.
