RE: too low optimizer_index_cost_adj causing bizarre index choice

Is this surprising? I still remember an Oracle presentation when 8i was first coming out and the Oracle rep answered a question about hints by saying that no one should use hints any more because the optimizer always used the best path.

Half the room burst out laughing :).

Even Oracle was reluctant
to admit that it was accessing a wacko index until I pressed them for it. I asked them to give me the relevant CBO code, but noooooo, not even a decent 10053 doc.....
