Am I missing something? It looks to me like these queries are the same...

Hi All,

I have the query like:

SELECT *
FROM tab1
WHERE UPPER(col1) <> 'abc';

Obviously, the function based index i have is not hetting used because of the ineqality.

When using
SELECT *
FROM tab1
WHERE UPPER(col1) <> 'abc';

index is getting used.

How can I possibly use index in the 1st case.

Thanks and Regards,
B S Pradhan
