I'm assuming that the query should read:
where trunc(d1) = '01-Dec-2002'
instead of:
where trunc(sysdate) = '01-Dec-2002'
And you can save the separate ANALYZE TABLE command by adding the COMPUTE
STATISTICS clause to the CREATE INDEX since 8.1.6, as well...

As far as how this works, I'll guess (without taking time to test) that the
9.2 CBO has been fitted to recognize "TRUNC(date-column)" as the functional
equivalent of "date-column >= value and date-column < value+1"? Question:
does the QUERY_REWRITE_ENABLED parameter have to be enabled for the session
or instance? Would this functionality still occur if the index had not been
ANALYZEd? Sorry for not testing it all out myself before asking, but I have
to log off...
