Hi,

I have a feeling the answer is 'not easily' but google thus far is failing me (or I need better google-fu).

I've got an operation where the optimizer is taking a concatenation path and I want to test it's performance by forcing it to not take this path and deal with it as a standard 'or'.

Is there a (presumably undocumented since I can't find reference to it) hint to force it not to? I'm aware of the USE_CONCAT() hint, but there seems to be no way to force-prevent concatenation.


Does anyone have any ideas on how I can prevent it using concat (other than maybe re-writing the query in a different fashion)?

I think, you need NO_EXPAND hint.
