Hi

I have unpartitioned table with aroung 2 million rows. When I was creating
an index on the table, it failed as it was not able to extend the temp
segment. I added a temp segment and recreated the index.

But now i see the index is created on some columns which cannot be seen in
the DESCRIBE TABLE command.

The columns created are :

SYS_NC00022$
SYS_NC00023$
SYS_NC00024$
SYS_NC00025$
SYS_NC00026$
SYS_NC00027$

What are these columns. When I do a describe on the table, I cannot see
these columns but when I do a select as follows, I see some data in these
columns :

SELECT
SYS_NC00022$,SYS_NC00023$,SYS_NC00024$,SYS_NC00025$,SYS_NC00026$,SYS_NC00027
$ FROM <TABLENAME> ;

SYS_NC00022$    SYS_NC00023$    SYS_NC00024$    SYS_NC00025$    SYS_NC00026$
SYS_NC00027$
AFD2BAFF                C8FF                    C7CCFF          CFFF                   
 CFFF                    CEFF
AFD2BAFF                C8FF                    C7CFFF                  CFFF           
         CFFF                    CEFF
AFD2BAFF                CAFF                    CCCAFF          CFFF                   
 CFFF                    CEFF
BAB3BAFF                C8FF                    C9CFFF          CFFF                   
 CFFF                    CEFF
ACBABCFF                C8FF                    CDCAFF          C8FF                   
 C8FF                    C9FF
AFD2BAFF                C8FF                    C7CBFF          CFFF                   
 CFFF                    CEFF
