Jack,

Thanks for your helpful reply.   Looks like my index is not function-based.
Darn!  Now I don't know why I'm getting this error and Metalink won't let
me in to update my TAR.

Cherie,

Yes funcidx_status will be ENABLED and there'll be a row in
User_Ind_Expressions for each function-based index.

I think that I might be facing a bug regarding table unions
and function-based indexes.   I have an existing index on
a column that has a function on it.

Is there a way that I can tell if this existing index is a
function-based index?   I looked at the funcidx_status
column on the dba_indexes view and it is empty.
Does that mean that this is not a function-based index?
How can I tell?

I am using version 8.1.5 on Sun Solaris 2.6.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.
