Yes, this is truly a moral dilemma.

I'm gonna buy a couple six packs of Moose Drool and ponder on it, or maybe not ponder on it and concentrate on football instead, this weekend.

The question is - are you going to be the one to tell them? :>

Isn't Anita an Oracle employee?

I decided to try it out.

I tried creating both a bitmap index and a function-based index as follows:

TESTDB.US.ORACLE.COM.SYSTEM.SQL>create table test_table( 2 col1 number,
3 col2 varchar2(50));

Table created.

TESTDB.US.ORACLE.COM.SYSTEM.SQL>create bitmap index index1 on test_table(col1);

Index created.

TESTDB.US.ORACLE.COM.SYSTEM.SQL>create index index2 on test_table(UPPER(col2));

Index created.

When I tried this on the original, non-patched 8.1.7.0.1 Standard Edition I got the usual "Feature not enabled" message.

So, yeah, I'd say the functionality is there. Gosh, I wonder if Oracle is aware of this?

Have you tested to see if the Enterprise Edition options now are working? Function-based indexes, etc...

Yes - same thing - just applied the 8172 patch yesterday to two 817 Standard Edition servers on SuSE 7.2 and they both now indicate Enterprise
Edition with all the options enabled.
