It's just an index built on the literal string 'X1' -- yes, very odd. Developer 
got wrong index-creation syntax and forgot to drop it afterwards?

thats what was confusing me, if it had a function involved, i'd understand but 
this just seems stupid to me :)

Function based index......but I am not sure how you would use it.

Ok i guess i'm having a brain fart, someone asked me about this and for
the life of me i can't figure it out.  The 2nd index, what exactly is it
doing with single quotes around the column name?? 

SQL> create table z1(x1 number, x2 date); 

Table created. 

SQL> CREATE INDEX X1 ON Z1 (X1); 

Index created. 

SQL> CREATE INDEX X2 ON Z1 ('X1'); 

Index created. 


Thanks,  Joe
