So, I fire up a Catalog Index on a column with an associated column in the
index set (for ordering the results) and it comes back 10-12 times faster
than the Context Index.  The problem is that the result sets weren't the
same.  Upon investigating, I found out that catalog index searching
("catsearch") doesn't support wildcards, which we need.  Bummer!

Oh well, back to contexts.   Thanks for your input!

I would suggest researching an Autonomous Transaction fired from the trigger
to get around the commit executed by CTX_DDL.SYNC_INDEX.
Another approach I would pursue is to evaluate the use of Catalog Indexes
(8.1.7).  If your requirements fit within the catalog index limitations
(more like an Intermedia Text-lite) then you are in luck since they are
transactional, hence no need for periodic synchronization.
