Another requirement is that your compatibility init.ora parameter must
be set to 8.1.7 or higher, I believe, but check the doco.
If that doesn't fix it, then trying using a hint to force the use of
that index. If it doesn't work with the hint, then you know you have an
environment problem that is preventing the use of function-based
indexes. If it does work with the hint, then you know that function
based is working but you have to figure out why the optimizer is not
choosing it.

Hi,
We are trying to use function based indexes in our application but it
looks like
optimizer is not using them.
So we created a sample table emp with 3 columns empno,ename,sal and
populate
this table with 100000 rows and created function based index on
upper(ename).
we try to run simple query like below and optimzer is not using index:
select sal from emp
where upper(ename)=upper('abc98');
Even we use index hint optimizer is still not using index.....
1) table is analyzed as compute after creating index.
2) query rewrite is granted to user
3) query_rewrite_enabled=true.
4) optimzer mode is choose.
5) optimer should use index as there is no way full scan can be faster
than index in this case as i tried to create simple
index on ename and remove upper function from where clause of query..
What can be the possible reason that optimzer is not using index??????
Thanks
