RE: optimizer not using function based indexes
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.
