Hi Shirish, FWIW:

Function-based index?  Reverse index?  for case II? 
Have you considered either of these options to ease the pain of that query?

Hi all

i have one column in my table (in which daily 100000 rows are added to the
table) which has values like

XYZ_A_LO0000_0000001
XYZ_A_LO0000_0000002
XYZ_A_LO0000_0000003
XYZ_A_LO0000_0000004
XYZ_A_LO0000_0000005
XYZ_A_LO0000_0000006
XYZ_A_LO0000_0000007
XYZ_A_LO0000_0000008
XYZ_A_LO0000_0000009

i want to check duplicate values.. there are 2 cases of duplication

Case I :- i am using the following query

select from my_table where rowid not in(
select max(rowid) from my_table
group by my_column_name );

i am getting the rows which are duplicate ..

CASE II : - i want to check duplication in last 7 characters(which are
actually nos) in my column like

0000001
0000002
0000003....so on....

i am using substr function to get this value and i am checking the values
with remaining rows..

but as the table contains nearly 450000(present rowcount) the query is
taking lot of time...which i can't afford...
the column has index on it.

plz suggest me what to do??
