Fail to create a function-based index
Hello,
I'm trying to create a function-based index using the following syntax :
CREATE INDEX fb_name_idx on employees (UPPER(name));
And i've got an ORA-00439 error (function not enabled).
I'm running on Oracle 9.2 Standard edition.
Is this functionality really disabled on standard edition ?
Thanks in advance for your answer,
Guillaume Basilico
No.
According to this document http://otn.oracle.com/products/database/oracle10g/pdf/twp_general_10gdb_product_family_0104.pdf in the 3rd row on page 12 you can see that Function-Based Indexes are available on Standard Edition.
According to metalink note 69492.1 FBI are available on standard edition.
As for me, I'm too using Oracle 9.2 SE and in my version they are available.

Problem creating a function based index
Hi,
Database: 8.0.6
OS: win 2000 server
I want to create a function based index as shown below:
sql> create index new_index on A_INP_PATIENTS_ADMT(bus_unit, admit_status_flag, nvl(clinical_discharge_yn,'N'), ward_code)
When i press return its showing error,
"ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis"
Please show me how to rewrite this query to build function based index.
Best Regards,
Edited by: ateeqrahman on Jun 6, 2010 2:34 PMYour sql is fine:
SQL> CREATE TABLE A_INP_PATIENTS_ADMT(
2 bus_unit number,
3 admit_status_flag varchar2(1),
4 clinical_discharge_yn varchar2(1),
5 ward_code varchar2(10)

7 /
Table created.
SQL> create index new_index on A_INP_PATIENTS_ADMT(bus_unit, admit_status_flag, nvl(clinical_discharge_yn,'N'), ward_code)

Index created.
SQL> You did not post Oracle version. Most likely, you are on some older version that does not support FBI. Otherwise, post your version and table description and create index statement execution showing all errors you are getting.

SQL tuning advisor recommnds to create SYS_OP_C2C function based index
I have a large table and one index on it. I use some tool to populate data, this tool simple submits the sql to Oracle DB and it does NOT use use index for queries. When I run the sql tuning advisor it recommends to create additional index and use SYS_OP_C2C function, which I do not want.
When I run the query via sql plus it picks up the index.
Have any of you come across, why its recommending this additional non-sense?
create index abc.xxxx on this_table(SYS_OP_C2C("this_column"));
ThanksThe internal Oracle function SYS_OP_C2C performs conversion from one character set to another character set - C(haracterSet)2C(haracterSet). There are situations when one will see this conversion going on without explicit command as in this case what should be a sign that the data types are not the same and implicit conversion is taking place and this might be also a problem from performance perspective as it may disable index usage.
Make sure you the characterset and nls defined of any of the database and tool are same.
Make sure the data type of the column on the index is same as database.
Confirm with ETL vendor for your database support and any patches etc.
Optimizer will only advise to use that function when characterset or data type does not match.
Thanks,

Creating function-based indexes
I'm trying to create a function-based index in one of the user's schemas and am getting an insufficient privilege error. Below are the examples:
connect scott/tiger ;
CREATE INDEX emp_ename_idx ON ename( emp ) ;
Index created.
CREATE INDEX upper_ename_idx ON ename( upper(ename)) ;
ERROR at line1:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
The DBA granted the CREATE ANY INDEX privilege to user scott already. Any ideas???
Thanks,
SYHi, all.
I didn't hear about function-based index before, so I did some testing. Instead of using Oracle predefined functions (upper, lower, substr etc.), I created my own function and tried to create an index on it. I received an error that function is not deterministic. The definition of deterministic from Oracle docs:
DETERMINISTIC
This hint helps the optimizer avoid redundant function calls. If a stored function was called previously with the same arguments, the optimizer can elect to use the previous result. The function result should not depend on the state of session variables or schema objects. Otherwise, results might vary across calls. Only DETERMINISTIC functions can be called from a function-based index or a materialized view that has query-rewrite enabled.
So, I put word deterministic in function declaration and everything works OK. Then I modified function to use some of the tables (I used tables across different schemas), recreated the index and it also worked fine.
Question - is this statement correct: You can use schema objects in function which is in turn used for indexes as long as you put word deterministic in function declaration and all objects (function, index) will be valid, but ORACLE doesn't guarantee that result produced using that index will be correct?
Thank you. -
How to create function based index for TO_CHAR
i need to create a function based index for the function to_char.when i tried ,i got an error,"only pure function can be indexed".what the error really means, help me in creating the index to reduce my query cost.
It works fine on my database. version 9iR2
create index IDX_TO_CHAR on emp(to_char(hiredate,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'));
explain plan for

maybe there is other ways to tune your sql than creating a function based index? -
Importing error: related to function-based indexes?
I've come across a strange error. I've got a user that has an export dump file who wants me to import the data into a new database. (Its an Oracle 10G database.)
When I use the 'imp' command, the table import completes successfully, but I end up receiving the following warnings:
IMP-00003: oracle error 942 encountered
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
IMP-00017: following statement failed with ORACLE error 942
"CREATE INDEX "X" on "Y" (TO_CHAR("Z",'yyyymmdd')) P"
"CTFREE 10 INITRANS 2 MAXTRANS 255 STORAGE(INITIAL 3145728 FREELISTS 1 FREEL"
"IST GROUPS 1 BUFFER_POOL DEFAULT) TABLESPACE "TBSPC" LOGGING"
The table itself seems to have been imported correctly; and all data rows exist. Its just the index that isn't being imported/rebuilt. (Other indexes on the same table were imported properly.)
The only thing that I could find that seems odd is that this index uses functions (the "TO_CHAR" in the index above). All of the other indexes on the table refer to basic fields. And I can rebuild the index manually.
Is the 'imp' command able to handle function-based indexes? Is there some parameter than I need to set to allow it to import these indexes?
(I know the more efficient thing to do would be to do an import with no indexes and rebuild them later...)
Edited by: user588235 on Dec 9, 2009 5:16 PMFunction based indexes should be supported. If it is exported, then it should be able to be imported. This just seems like a weird case. Have you tried to create a different table and then create a function based index on that table then see if exp/imp work?Yes, I have tried creating new versions of the tables (both with and without function-based indexes).
During my tests, I found that I can recreate the problem if I create the table in Oracle 9 and import it into Oracle 10; the problem doesn't occur when importing/exporting between Oracle9->Oracle9 or Oracle10->Oracle10. (However, the user told me that this was an export from Oracle 10.)
One other thing: I've noticed that if, instead of importing into a user account, I import into the system account, it works with no problems. For example:
imp userid='sys/xyz as sysdba' file=mydata.dmp fromuser=use1 touser=use2 ->Results in warnings while reading indexes
imp userid='sys/xyz as sysdba' file=mydata.dmp fromuser=use1 touser=sys ->works with no warning
This makes me suspect that its a problem with the permissions that have been granted. (I've granted 'create any index' and 'query rewrite' to the user account however.)
Not to change the issue, but since this is 10g, have you tried using datapump to expdp/impdp the same information?Might be an option; problem is, I'm dealing with a legacy system that was set up to use 'imp/exp', so altering backup and restore methods will require a lot of work. -
Function based indexes on object tables
Hi,
I am trying to create a function based index on an object table. I am getting the following error:
SQL> create index cell1_indx on cell1(create_cell1(id)) indextype is mdsys.spatial_index;
create index cell1_indx on cell1(create_cell1(id)) indextype is mdsys.spatial_index

ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_INDEX_METHOD_9I", line 7
ORA-06512: at line 1
Here cell1 is an object table.
Is the procedure for creating function based indexes on object tables different from relational tables?
ChinniOne of the many new features in Oracle 8i is the Function-Based Index (we will refrain from using FBI, but only just). This allows the DBA to create indexes on functions or expressions; these functions can be user generated pl/sql functions, standard SQL functions (non-aggregate only) or even a C callout.
A classic problem the DBA faces in SQL Tuning is how to tune those queries that use function calls in the where clause, and result in indexes created on these columns not to be used.
Example
Standard B-Tree index on SURNAME with cost based optimizer
create index non_fbi on sale_contacts (surname);
analyze index non_fbi compute statistics;
analyze table sale_contacts compute statistics;
SELECT count(*) FROM sale_contacts
WHERE UPPER(surname) = 'ELLISON';
Execution Plan
0 SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer=CHOOSE (Cost=3 Card=1 Bytes=17)
1 0 SORT (AGGREGATE)
2 1 TABLE ACCESS (FULL) OF 'SALES_CONTACTS' (Cost=3 Card=16 Bytes=272)
Now we use a function based index
create index fbi on sale_contacts (UPPER(surname));
analyze index fbi compute statistics;
analyze table sale_contacts compute statistics;
SELECT count(*) FROM sale_contacts WHERE UPPER(surname) = 'ELLISON';
Execution Plan
0 SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer=CHOOSE (Cost=2 Card=1 Bytes=17)
1 0 SORT (AGGREGATE)
2 1 INDEX (RANGE SCAN) OF 'FBI' (NON-UNIQUE) (Cost=2 Card=381 Bytes=6477)
The function-based index has forced the optimizer to use index range scans (retuning zero or more rowids) on the surname column rather than doing a full table scan (non-index lookup). Optimal performance does vary depending on table size, uniqueness and selectivity of columns, use of fast full table scans etc. Therefore try both methods to gain optimal performance in your database.
It is important to remember that the function-based B*Tree index does not store the expression results in the index but uses an "expression tree". The optimizer performs expression matching by parsing the expression used in the SQL statement and comparing the results against the expression-tree values in the function-based index. This comparison IS case sensitive (ignores spaces) and therefore your function-based index expressions should match expressions used in the SQL statement where clauses.
Init.ora Parameters
The following parameter must be set in your parameter file: QUERY_REWRITE_INTEGRITY = TRUSTED
QUERY_REWRITE_ENABLED = TRUE
COMPATIBLE = 8.1.0.0.0 (or higher)
Grants
Grants To create function-based indexes the user must be granted CREATE INDEX and QUERY REWRITE, or alternatively be granted CREATE ANY INDEX and GLOBAL QUERY REWRITE. The index owner must have EXECUTE access on the function used for the index. If execute access is revoked then the function-based index will be "disabled" (see dba_indexes).
Disabled Indexes
If your function-based index has a status of "disabled" the DBA can do one of the following:
a) drop and create the index (take note of its current settings)
b) alter index enable, function-based indexes only, also use disable keyword as required
c) alter index unusable.
Queries on a DISABLED index fail if the optimizer chooses to use the index.Here is an example ORA error:
ERROR at line 1: ORA-30554: function-based index MYUSER.FBI is disabled.
All DML operations on a DISABLED index also fail unless the index is also marked UNUSABLE and the initialization parameter SKIP_UNUSABLE_INDEXES is set to true.
Some more Examples
CREATE INDEX expression_ndx
ON mytable ((mycola + mycolc) * mycolb);
SELECT mycolc FROM mytable
WHERE (mycola + mycolc) * mycolb <= 256;
..or a composite index..
CREATE INDEX example_ndx
ON myexample (mycola, UPPER(mycolb), mycolc);
SELECT mycolc FROM myexample
WHERE mycola = 55 AND UPPER(mycolb) = 'JONES';
Restriction & Rule Summary
The following restrictions apply to function based indexes. You may not index:
a) LOB columns
b) REF
c) Nested table column
d) Objects types with any of the above data types.
Function-based indexes must always follow these rules:
a) Cost Based optimizer only, must generate statistics after the index is created
b) Can not store NULL values (function can not return NULL under any circumstance)
c) If a user defined pl/sql routine is used for the function-based index, and is invalidated, the index will become "disabled"
d) Functions must be deterministic (always return the same value for a known input)
e) The index owner must have "execute" access on function used in the function-based index. Revocation of the privilege will render the index "disabled"
f) May have a B-Tree and Bitmap index type only
g) Can not use expressions that are based on aggregate functions, ie. SUM, AVG etc.
h) To alter a function-based index as enabled, the function used must be valid, deterministic and the signature of the function matches the signature of the function when it was created.

Using function based index causing connection to abort
My problem is as below
I m using oracle 8i data base
I have a table Dummy with column col1 .
I have created a function based index on col1
Now i try to update the table dummy using this function based index (i.e)
i run the following query
update dummy set col2='new value' where col1=ltrim(col2,'0')
now when i execute this statement it causes the connection to abort. It gives the error
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
But if i run select query (i.e) select col2 from dummy where col1=ltrim(col2,'0')
it executes sucessfully.
Also if i wrap the ltrim over some other function it works (i.e.)
update dummy set col2='new value' where col1=upper(ltrim(col2,'0'))
Any thoughts or ideas on what can be the reason...
plese let me know for any questions,clarifications..
Thanks in advance...
BalajiBalaji, what is the exact error message returned? Remember to always include all the error details so that the problem can be identified and diagnosed.
If you mean you are getting an ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel, this means that the Oracle Server Process that serviced your client session, crashed.
In that case you need to refer to the alert log file on the database instance to see the server-side error message that resulted (often an ORA-0600 internal error) and the name of the trace file that was created at a result.
You also failed to specify the exact Oracle 8i version you are using. Make sure you're on the very last patch set released for 8i - that should be 8.1.7.4 as far as I recall. -
Creation of function based index using escape

AND (A.KEY2 = :P2 OR ( :P2 like REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(KEY2,'%', '\%'),'_', '\_'),'?', '_'),'*','%') escape '\' AND A.REGFLAGS2 = 'Y') OR (A.KEY2 IS NULL AND A.REGFLAGS2 IS NULL ) )
AND (A.KEY3 = :P3 OR ( :P3 like REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(KEY3,'%', '\%'),'_', '\_'),'?', '_'),'*','%') escape '\' AND A.REGFLAGS3 = 'Y') OR (A.KEY3 IS NULL AND A.REGFLAGS3 IS NULL ) )
AND (A.KEY4 = :P4 OR ( :P4 like REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(KEY4,'%', '\%'),'_', '\_'),'?', '_'),'*','%') escape '\' AND A.REGFLAGS4 = 'Y') OR (A.KEY4 IS NULL AND A.REGFLAGS4 IS NULL ) )
AND (A.KEY5 = :P5 OR ( :P5 like REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(KEY5,'%', '\%'),'_', '\_'),'?', '_'),'*','%') escape '\' AND A.REGFLAGS5 = 'Y') OR (A.KEY5 IS NULL AND A.REGFLAGS5 IS NULL ) )
AND (A.KEY6 IS NULL OR A.KEY6 = '*' AND REGFLAGS6 = 'Y')
AND (A.KEY7 IS NULL OR A.KEY7 = '*' AND REGFLAGS7 = 'Y')
AND (A.KEY8 IS NULL OR A.KEY8 = '*' AND REGFLAGS8 = 'Y')
AND (A.KEY9 IS NULL OR A.KEY9 = '*' AND REGFLAGS9 = 'Y')
AND (A.KEY10 IS NULL OR A.KEY10 = '*' AND REGFLAGS10 = 'Y')
AND ( ( A.PROCESSIDCODE IS NOT NULL AND UPPER(A.PROCESSIDCODE) = UPPER(B.PROCESSIDCODE) AND A.XLEVEL = B.XLEVEL AND B.ACTIVEFLAG = 'Y' )
OR ( A.RULENAME IS NOT NULL AND UPPER(A.RULENAME) = UPPER(C.RULENAME) AND A.XLEVEL = C.XLEVEL AND C.ACTIVEFLAG = 'Y' ) );
Now I want to create a function based index on the key1 column:
CREATE INDEX xib_detect_ix ON xib_detect (REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(KEY1,'%', '\%'),'_', '\_'),'?', '_'),'*','%') escape '\') TABLESPACE ... ONLINE;
However, this is not working with "escape" '\', throwing: ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
Any idea how to create an index on this construct with "escape"?
Database version is 10.2.0.3.
Thanks a lot.
Regards
OliverHi,
You can get the "missing right parenthesis" error for many different syntax errors.
In this case, you really are missing a right parenthesis. Your statement has 5 left '('s, but only 4 right ')'s. It's easy to see this if you format your code:
CREATE INDEX xib_detect_ix
ON xib_detect ( REPLACE ( REPLACE ( REPLACE ( REPLACE ( KEY1
escape '\'
ESCAPE is an option that you can use with the LIKE operator. It gives you a mechanism for cancelling the special meaning of symbols like '%'. You're not using the LIKE operator to create the index. You're only using REPLACE, and no characters have any special meaning in REPLACE, so there's no way (or reason) to escape them. Use ESCAPE in queries that use LIKE, when appropriate. -
Oracle documentation on "How Function-Based Indexes Work" states that for the creation of a function-based index in the user's own schema, the user must be granted the QUERY REWRITE system privileges. And MUST have the following initialization parameters defined to create a function-based index:
QUERY_REWRITE_INTEGRITY set to TRUSTED
QUERY_REWRITE_ENABLED set to TRUE.
I have created a function-based unique index, which uses the SQL function DECODE(). But the user doesn't have the QUERY REWRITE sytem privilege. The user has the following privileges:
CREATE PROCEDURE
CREATE SEQUENCE
CREATE SESSION
CREATE TABLE
CREATE TRIGGER
CREATE VIEW
And also the initialization parameters for QUERY_REWRITE_INTEGRITY and QUERY_REWRITE_ENABLED are set to their DEFAULT values as follows:
QUERY_REWRITE_INTEGRITY set to ENCFORCED
QUERY_REWRITE_ENABLED set to FALSE.
Note: The index is an unique index for data integrity purpose. I am using Oracle 9.2.0.6 version.
Kindly explain me the reason how the function-based index is created without the system privilege and the initialization parmaters defined as stated in the Oracle9i Database Administrator's Guide Release 2 (9.2).You can change those parameter at session level as well.
Following link would be helpful:

Function-Based Index enabling.

...so as to be able to query the final 4 digits of social security numbers. Problem is that the above elicits an ORA-00439 "feature not enabled" message. I'm running 8.1.6 and have tried setting the Oracle parameter QUERY_REWRITE_ENABLED to 'TRUE' via an ALTER SESSION command, but to no avail.
Anyone know how to 'turn the feature on'?

I've always done it by logging on as SYS and executing a 'grant query rewrite to myuser'.
<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Thanks... but turns out that the privilege is not really the issue, as the ALTER SESSION command works. I figured out that the problem was the setting for COMPATIBLE. It pointed to 8.0.0 instead of 8.1.x which is what was needed to permit function-based indexing.
