I think I figured out why it was doing a full table scan when using

acctg_date > trunc(sysdate)
or useing
acctg_date > '01-May-2006'

After doing a 10053 trace, I found out that the filter factor it was using was 98%. It should really only be about 2%. That is probably due to the fact that there were some bad dates greater than '01-Jan-3000'.

When using "greater than" it calculates it based on the high and low values.
