UPPER() dan BINARY_CI dapat menghasilkan hasil yang sama tetapi Oracle tidak dapat menggunakannya secara bergantian. Untuk menggunakan indeks dan BINARY_CI Anda harus membuat indeks seperti ini:
create index src_nlssort_index on src(nlssort(b, 'nls_sort=''BINARY_CI'''));
Tabel contoh dan data kasus campuran
create table src(b varchar2(100) not null);
insert into src select 'MiXeD CAse '||level from dual connect by level <= 100000;
Secara default, predikat upper() dapat melakukan pemindaian rentang pada indeks upper()
create index src_upper_index on src(upper(b));
explain plan for
select * from src where upper(b) = 'MIXED CASE 1';
select * from table(dbms_xplan.display(format => '-rows -bytes -cost -predicate
-note'));

| Id | Operation | Name | Time |

| 2 | INDEX RANGE SCAN | SRC_UPPER_INDEX | 00:00:01 |
------------------------------------------------------------------
BINARY_CI dan LINGUISTIC tidak akan menggunakan indeks
alter session set nls_sort='binary_ci';
alter session set nls_comp='linguistic';
explain plan for
select * from src where b = 'MIXED CASE 1';
select * from table(dbms_xplan.display(format => '-rows -bytes -cost -note'));

Indeks berbasis fungsi pada NLSSORT() memungkinkan pemindaian rentang indeks
create index src_nlssort_index on src(nlssort(b, 'nls_sort=''BINARY_CI'''));
explain plan for
select * from src where b = 'MIXED CASE 1';
select * from table(dbms_xplan.display(format => '-rows -bytes -cost -note'));
