Hi,

 

We have an unique index on raw(16) column but whenever we issue a query
on this table optimizer is doing fullscan and not using the index but
when I force index it works fine:

Select * from tab1 where raw_column = 'value';

 

Is this expected behavior that when we refer RAW columns in query that
Optimizer not use the index?

 

Thanks
