A classical example of a ring $R$ with an indecomposable ideal is the ring $C(X)$ of real valued continuous functions on $X$, where the $(0)$ ideal is not decomposable. Does anyone know other examples of rings with a non decomposable ideal? (In particular, I'm looking for a non reduced one.)

    $\begingroup$ See my answer here. (Btw, you can add the definition of indecomposable ideals into the body of your question.) $\endgroup$
