title: Oracle 10g - optimize WHERE IS NOT NULL
body: <p>We have Oracle 10g and we need to query 1 table (no joins) and filter out rows where 1 of the columns is null. When we do this - WHERE OurColumn IS NOT NULL - we get a full table scan on a very large table - BAD BAD BAD. The column has an index on it but it gets ignored in this instance. Are there any solutions to this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
