from Exadata Storage Server on your workload.
Just to check that functionality I installed Oracle 11g Release 2 on my local VM
(Oracle EL 5.2 32bit) and created test database called o1102
I created a user, a table with 5000000 entries, tuning set after that and executed analysis
using the script provided in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin
That's what I got:
create table t1 (c1 int, c2 varchar2(100), c3 date);
insert into t1 select rownum, dbms_random.string('X', 100),
sysdate + dbms_random.value(-100, 100) from dual
connect by level <= 5000000;
commit;
SQL> select count(*) from t1
2 where t1.c2 like '___AB%'
3 union all
4 select count(*) from t1
5 where t1.c2 like '___AC%'
6 /

It seems that there is no performance improvement for the query
that I executed but at least functionality was tested and might be it will show
something more encouraging to another queries.
Have a good day!
