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.
