a nested index definition implies that duplicates are sorted Explanation: An INDEX ONLY index must be unique or have duplicates sorted. If a nested index definition exists, then the duplicates handling must be specified as sorted. Likewise, if the duplicates handling is specified as sorted, then a nested index definition must exist. User Action: The index can not be created in this manner. Recreate the index as a unique index, or with a nested duplicates index, specifying that the duplicates are to be sorted.
