Anyone use bitmap indexes?

Hi,

Does anybody out there know anything about bitmap indexing. From what i know of them they sound perfect for
many of the tables in our system. On a recent course i was told they would work with oracle server 7.3.3 onwards, we use 7.3.2 - but ive also been told that they will work here as well. The fact that im sending this note means they dont! Or at least when i try the 'create index....etc' syntax with bitmap clause.

In a nutshell, does anybody know what version of oracle (and if applicable server configuration) is needed to get these things to work.

Thanks in anticipation
