Hello,

The original hint is as follows:

(/*!HINT INDEX (TABLE_INTERACT
CREATE_DATE_INDEX)*/1=1)


With this hint, the database is running fine.


The modified hint (whether unintentional or not) is as follows:

(/*!HINT INDEX (TABLE_INTERACT
CREATE_DATE_INDEX)*/ 1=1)


Note that there is now a space after the "/" symbol before the "1". Now the query runs 5 hours longer. This is a remote site, so I don't have access to play around. My question is would the space be a reason why the query is taking long. Is the Hint invalid now, I know that Oracle doesn't really give a message if the hint is unuseable? What does the 1=1 mean? Please help.

thank you.

Unless there is an alternate hint syntax that has escaped my attention, this is invalid. I would say that your hint was NEVER being used.
Take a look at the Performance Tuning Manual.
