What is the relation between TRUNC and use or not use the Index ?

Well in a rule based optimizer it looks for the column queried on and if it finds a column called in a where clause has a index then it includes but when it sees trunc(date_fld) it cannot recogonize it as a column or rather rule based optimizer is not intelligent enough to deciphir the column.

When you use trunc() or any other function with the field oracle optimizer (rule or cost based)will not recognize index so it won't use index.

choice 1: remove the trunc
choice 2: create a function based index

thanks
