Ed, From 259804.1: Documentation Omission: Logical Standby Database Do Not Support Tables with Function-Based or Descending Indexes As of Oracle9*i* Release 2, logical standby databases do not support tables with function-based or descending indexes. This information should have been included "Section 4.1.4 Determine Support for Datatypes or Tables" of the *Oracle Data Guard Concepts and Administration *(part number A96653-02) documentation. There is no work-around for this problem in Oracle9*i* release 9.2. However, the restriction will be lifted in a future release. On 11g, this seems to be different: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25608/create_ls.htm#i77026 Cheers -- Carlos On Thu, Apr 5, 2012 at 7:17 PM, ed lewis <eglewis71@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hello, > We've created a logical standby, and discovered > issues with tables that have function-based indexes. > Its appear the LSB does not use them.
