If you know you have 3 duplicate records in the table then the PK must have
already been disabled so you have to rebuild anyway.  I do not see
where you had to disable in order to use the exception table. It was
already disabled therefore it probably not an app problem but a disable
constraint
problem unless direct load bypasses constraint checking which I am not
sure.

Here's a reason:

have you ever tried to find the three duplicate rows in a 12 million
row table without using the primary key constraint? I've had to disable
or drop the constraint in order to use the exceptions table. Once I do
that, even if I've built a separate index that enforces the primary key
constraint, Oracle drops the index. So I HAVE to rebuild it. If I allow
the index to be rebuilt when I re-enable the primary key constraint, it
builds it in the default tablespace of the table owner, not where I
want it.

if anyone has a better way to fix this problem, I'm more than happy to
hear it! It's a data warehouse and the third party app has a bug we
can't find and on occasion sqlloads (via direct path) duplicate rows
