Hello,
I have a table with this structure
create table TableA {
id number,
titulo varchar2(200)
}
I defined an index like this
CREATE INDEX titulo_text_idx ON TableA(titulo)
INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT
PARAMETERS('SYNC (ON COMMIT)');

How I can do, a query where titulo to be equal that 'ADMINISTRACION', I have query with contains and they work fine, but when i need to obtain equal matches the query doesn't use the index and i obtain full table access

Thank you very much for your help.

A context index will only be used with a query that uses the contains operator. If you want to search using equal with an index, then you need to create a regular index. You can have two separate indexes of different types on the same column, so that the different types of queries can use the different indexes, as shown below.

  2  id number,
  3  titulo varchar2(200)
