```

Indexed columns, you can’t use in Built in functions. 

For instance,

**DATE(B.T_TIMESTAMP) < :WSDATE**

You can give like this:

**T_TIMESTAMP< TIMMESTAMP(:WSDATE,’00.00.00′).**

[DATE and TIME](https://srinimf.com/2017/01/05/how-to-extract-date-from-timesmp/) are both CHAR. The default is ISO format is YYY-MM-DD  HH.MM.SS. If you want you can change this format.
