RE: Function Based Index - Not Used ???

FBI is supported on 8.1.6 (that is what I use them on), but you may be right about the compatible setting.

Naveen , these parameters look to be already set Doesn't FBI come in with 8.1.7 and Prem is on 8.16 and a comapatible of 8.10 is in place

Failing that, as my second guess, 2 privileges need to be assigned to the user (QUERY_REWRITE and CREATE INDEX). The 2nd one is obviously in place to allow the index to be created but I don't know about the first

The final point is whether the name column is not null , again I assume not but it is a possibility

Don't remember but you need a few parameters set appropriately for the FB indexes to work.

I guess one of the parameters is QUERY_REWRITE_ENABLED which should be set to
TRUE and you also need to set QUERY_REWRITE_INTEGRITY to some appropriate value.
