Is the substr the only component in your where clause, or are there additional predicates?

I'd also recommend reading "Practical Oracle8i" by Jonathan Lewis and following some of the advice.

Finally, is there any way you could attempt a test with a more recent version, say 9iR2 or (pref) 10g? There have been a good number of advances that should help.
