In This Assignment You Will Be Using An Execution Plan To Analyze The Efficient Use 2379425

In this assignment, you will be using an execution plan to analyze the efficient use of a function based index. This is loosely based on the SELECT statement shown in script 2_8 on page 76. You can start with the script attached above (2_8.sql).

First, start your spool file, and SET the following properties:

Spool c:cs4650m2wa.log

SET LONG 5000

SET AUTOTRACE TRACE EXPLAIN

Then modify the script to use cust_first_name in the customers table for the OE database:

SELECT first_name

FROM cust

WHERE UPPER(first_name) = ‘IAN’;

Create a new function-based index for UPPER(cust_first_name) and run the select command again.
