This is a really interesting discussion and I'm curious if you can use a CASE 
instead of DECODE in the virtual column you created? (DECODE seems more 
expensive than CASE if I remember correctly in normal SQL)

Iotzov: That is a slick idea.

Martin: If it were worthwhile in your situation to be extremely fast at finding 
just the relevant rows, then:

alter table junk23 add (id1_lt_id2 number as 
(decode(id1-id2,-1,id1-id2,0,null,null)));
