What is the difference between these two privileges?

CREATE INDEX
CREATE ANY INDEX

I've been trying to look through Oracle's online documentation and doing Google searches, but I can't seem to get a proper search criteria to yield significant results :(

    As Oracle doc mentioned, there's no seperate CREATE INDEX privilege. It goes with CREATE TABLE.

    To create an index in another user's schema, you must have the CREATE ANY INDEX system privilege.

    Hi,

    The privilege CREATE INDEX not exist:

    SQL> create user tst identified by tst;

    User created.

    SQL> grant create index to tst;
    grant create index to tst
    *
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00990: missing or invalid privilege


    SQL> grant create any index to tst;

    Grant succeeded.

    SQL>

    Regards,

    Hi,

    Roles are
    1) Index: This is given on particular table where the grantee can create an index. (No grant such as create index).
    2) Create any Index: This is system privilege. This allows grantee to create index on any table on any schema.

    Regards
    Anurag Tibrewal.
