Generally speaking, I've never seen CBO chose skip scan by itself.  INDEX_SS
may help, if you're

certain that it will improve performance.

Folks, 
Does anyone know that in order for the optimizer to choose "Index skip scan"
on a concatenated index where the first column is not very selective but the
second one is, approximately what type of selectivity on the leading column
the Optimizer look for before deciding to take this route?

Thanks 
Amir
