How to create index not unique at the time of the CREATE TABLE

Question

Hi,
I am trying to find out how in Oracle create secondary indexes that can accept duplicated into the CREATE TABLE statement, without have to execute a CREATE INDEX separately.
As far I can see the only syntax accepted by Oracle 9i to create more than one index at the time of the table creation is:
CREATE TABLE test_tab (x INTEGER, y INTEGER, z INTEGER PRIMARY KEY(x,y), UNIQUE(z))
But, in my case I need to have the unicity only for the primary key, but not for the second index, that I would like to have not unique.
How to do that inside of the CREATE TABLE statement?
Any help?
Thanks a lot in advance.

To create an index automatically (not constraint related) , you will need to have an 'event' trigger on the schema that will (IE: detecting a table create/drop matching ARCHIVE_%) , generate the appropriate SQL required (create index sql) and pass THAT to a DBMS_JOB.
Make sure you have job queue's enabled.
This was the ONLY way that I could re-create a view automatically as new tables were created that matched a criteria IE ARCHIVE_JAN06, ARCHIVE_FEB06 etc.
The application's "archiving" method created and was thus aware of these tables and permitted searching within 'archived' data, but 3rd party reporting applications needed to see a view encompassing all data, regardless of the tables involved. The view automatically created was a 'union_all' of all tables concerned.
