Plese help.
I am not able to create a bitmap index on ana existing table from the
following statement:

CREATE BITMAP INDEX USER.EMPLOYEE_BMP
ON USER.EMPLOYEE
(SEX)
TABLESPACE USER_DATA

I've Personal Oracle 7.3.3.0.0

The error returned by ORACLE is ORA-901 Invalid create command.

My documentation says that the COMPATIBLE parameter in INIT.ORA must be set
to 7.3.3 at minimum to use the CREATE BITMAP INDEX command. I've checked mi
INIT.ORA and the V$PARAMETER view and the COMPATIBLE is set to 7.3.3.

Please help!

I ran into the exact same problem today, on Oracle 7.3.3 on Solaris. I
was able to create the index after installing the Parallel query
option. I don't know about Personal Oracle though.

The CREATE BITMAP INDEX command is available in Enterprise Edition only.
