B*tree indexes are ALWAY ordered. That's the way they're created and searched.
I don't know the difference between full index scan and fast full index scan.
I know that the latter is used when the tble rows are not needed. Sounds like
both methods are reading all leaf
blocks. Rows are returned as they've read from blocks, thus
no order can be guaranteed.

The FF index scan reads all the block in the index, using multiblock
reads. The kernel then discards the branch blocks. If sorting of the

I tried it with COMPATIBLE=8.1.6.
no nulls in that particular column
but it's the same again.
As Tim pointed out,
CARD=262146 -- as per the EXPLAIN PLAN for SELECT w/o HINT.
the SELECT retuens about 2.5 million rows.
which is why it goes for a FTS than a Index scan
is my understanding
Thanks Tim.
But the SELECT returns just 2 of 20,00,000 records.
and the Time elapsed for Index scan is 0.7 secs where as
it is 5 secs for FTS.
