When you create a context index, you create a number of tables. These tables are named DR$<INDEX_NAME>$I, DR$<INDEX_NAME>$K, DR$<INDEX_NAME>$N, and DR$<INDEX_NAME$>R. There are indexes on these tables. The "I" and the "R" tables contain BLOBS and thus have lob indexes. The "K" and "N" tables are IOT's and have a "IOT - TOP" indexes. In addition the "I" table indexed by normal index named "DR$<INDEX_NAME>$X. All these things were created in the users' default directory unless you created a storage preference and included that as a parameter when you created the indexes. You may also have a DR$<INDEX_NAME>$P table and its associated indexes.
In addition to these, in the system tablespace, there is an index which has the name of the context index you created. However there is no segment associated with the index, and thus no "segment" to move What the index comprises is listed in the first paragraph. One way to move all the tings mentioned in the first paragraph is to do something like alter index <index_name> rebuild parameters('storage <storage_preference> ...) I'm not sure if you need to include all the parameters you had when the index was first built; hence, the ellipsis. You may be able to use alter table move to move the tables mentioned above and rebuild whatever indexes became "unusable." I have not tried this!!!

I want 1) to move these indexes to different tablespace 2) change storage clause 3) Want to get the DDL for these indexes ( for re-organization) PS: I guess the move to new tablespace and storage change can be done in single shot.(like normal indexes) This is really urgent and needs to be done in production by tomorrow.
