Good one!

By the way, I personally think that anyone who does a direct load into a
table concurrently subject to an online index rebuild has worse problems
than an Oracle "bug."

Perhaps the "bug" is that online index rebuild does not make a direct load
attempt wait.

Subject: Re: index maintenance tracing and debugging event

One way would be to dump redo :)
There's also a following event, which traces delayed index maintenance
operations (so, possibly not every single index maintenance op, but only the
bulk-delayed ones):

12837, 00000, "Delayed index maintenance debugging event"
// *Document: NO
// *Cause:
// *Action: Control dumping of debugging information for dealyed maintenanc

It's mentioned here:

*Bug 11795952 - Direct load insert may result in ORA-1 errors during
concurrent online index rebuild operation [ID 11795952.8]
*

*"If event 12837 is set to level 31, the we see that there are multiple rows
being inserted into the index bufffer (kxib) for the same index."*

I've never used it myself, so better ask from support before running this in
production ...
