Ok i guess i'm having a brain fart, someone asked me about this and for
the life of me i can't figure it out.  The 2nd index, what exactly is it
doing with single quotes around the column name?? 

SQL> create table z1(x1 number, x2 date); 

Table created. 

SQL> CREATE INDEX X1 ON Z1 (X1); 

Index created. 

SQL> CREATE INDEX X2 ON Z1 ('X1'); 

Index created. 


Thanks,  Joe

You can have it: Fast, Right or Cheap, pick 2 of the 3.
Fast + Right is Expensive
Fast + Cheap will be incorrect.
Right + Cheap will take a while.
