Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Optimizer help, get query to run as good as with RULE hint
I have a problem query which will not complete. This query is part of a report run within Oracle Applications.
Our versions are: Oracle Server 8.1.7.4, Apps 11.5.3, HP-UX 11.11
Listed below is the query and the explain plan. I ran full statistics on all the tables immediately before executing the query. Using the CBO, it never returns. I cancel the query, but it won't die until I kill the unix process.
If I use the /*+ RULE */ hint, the query plan (also listed below) changes dramatically and the query executes in 30 seconds.
What could cause the optimizer to behave so differently? We cannot change our instance to RBO, as it would adversely affect everything else and Apps requires CBO anyway. Any suggestions on what else I could do to improve the explain plan withou having to use the hint? (I've tried setting optimizer_index_cost_adj=10, and it changes the plan a little but still does not complete).
