You are trying to create a function based index. To do so you need the query rewrite privilege
The index will still fail with a divide by 0 error (don't know why you are dividing by zero)
AS USER
create index wrong_logic on john(income/0) *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
AS SYS
SQL> connect internal
Connected.
SQL> grant query rewrite to user;
AS USER
SQL> create index wrong_logic on john(income/0);
create index wrong_logic on john(income/0)
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01476: divisor is equal to zero
1* create index wrong_logic on john(income/4)
SQL> /
Index created.

Hi guys,
This is my test:
SQL> desc emp
Name Null? Type
----------------------------------------- -------- ------------------------
----
EMPNO NOT NULL CHAR(3)
NAME VARCHAR2(10)
INCOME NUMBER(5)
SQL> create index no_logic on emp(income);
Index created.
SQL> drop index no_logic;
Index dropped.
SQL> create index wrong_logic on emp(income/0);
create index wrong_logic on emp(income/0)
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
I don't understand why Oracle throw such exception (reply).
Do you have any idea what is Oracle doing when Oracle find out number / 0
