Hi All, I have following query :
SELECT EMP_NAME FROM EMP WHERE UPPER(EMP_NAME) LIKE '%ABC%'; CREATE INDEX IX_NAME ON emp(UPPER(EMP_NAME)); Looks like using the meta character (%) both leading and trailing would not use the index and go for Full table scan. Pls advise how can i optimize above query. Thanks in advance, G -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Oracle PL/SQL" group.
