The setting of the parameter QUERY_REWRITE_INTEGRITY has no bearing on anything but query rewrite in materialized views... SQL> create index initcap_ename on emp(initcap(ename)) compute statistics; Index created. SQL> show parameter rewrite NAME TYPE VALUE --------------------------- ----------- --------------- query_rewrite_enabled string TRUE query_rewrite_integrity string STALE_TOLERATED SQL> set autotrace traceonly explain SQL> select ename from emp where initcap(ename) = 'Smith'; Execution Plan ---------------------------------------------------------- 0 SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer=CHOOSE 1 0 TABLE ACCESS (BY INDEX ROWID) OF 'EMP' 2 1 INDEX (RANGE SCAN) OF 'INITCAP_ENAME' (NON-UNIQUE) The hoops to be jumped through to enable FBI are: 1. COMPATIBLE >= 8.1.0 2. OPTIMIZER_MODE <> rule 3. QUERY_REWRITE_ENABLED = true 4. QUERY REWRITE or GLOBAL QUERY REWRITE permission granted 5. CBO statistics gathered on the index Hope this helps... -Tim on 8/11/04 8:20 PM, Mohammed Shakir at mshakir08816@xxxxxxxxx wrote: > I had to do the following to get function based indexes working. > But I have Oracle 9i.
