Thank you! I completely missed that in the documentation. That
explains why I can't get it to use the index even with a hint. What an
annoying, and seemingly unnecessary restriction.

Oracle function based indexes do not work if OR clause is used .This is mentioned in
the oracle docs.
I think if u use union clause it may work out .
try and see...

Add a hint to force it to use the index, and then
check the costs - this may assist in telling you why
the index was not chosen.
Also, maybe see what happens using IN instead of OR

Hi everybody,
I'm hoping someone can help me understand this.
I have this query -
SELECT ORDERID FROM WWW_SHOPCART
WHERE UPPER(MEMBERNAME) ='19891' ;
I added an index on the column UPPER(MEMBERNAME) and it works great.
I have another query -
SELECT ORDERID FROM WWW_SHOPCART
WHERE UPPE
