sql - Oracle keep unique constraint index -


when drop unique column (just unique not primary key) constraint, toad prompts me whether if want keep index.

to me logical thing remove index why offer keep ? saving time if make same column unique @ later point in time ? (which kind of confuses me since old index may cause conflicts).

as of 10g, oracle introduced "keep index" option on alter table...drop constraint. i've read, should other way around...in should drop index unless specify "keep index". assuming removed index via gui menus.

with in mind, toad gui designed prompt that. wonder if ran alter table...drop constraint if still prompt you. going bet "not."
