RE: Postgresql equal join on function with columns not use index

Thanks a lot, we use orafce 3.17, and there some varchar2 columns and function indexes depends on oracle.substr too. Is it ok to upgrade to orafce version 4.4 by “alter extension update to ‘4.4’? it’s online to do that ?

Thanks,

James

Why in the world are the oracle ones marked volatile? That's what's
preventing them from being used in index quals.

It looks like orafce issue

I'll fix it

should be fixed in orafce 4.4.
