Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Fast Full Index Scan in 8.1.7
I wanted to turn it off in testing so I could try some other indexes as an alternative. I'm not sure that I trust it to make a good decision.
Even with an alternative index hint, it's not using the index I'm trying to
get it to use, but rather the fast full index scan. I can't see any typo
but
maybe it just can't use that index with full full index scan enabled.
That's why I wanted to try and disable it and see what would happen.
CBO does some interesting things. Every time I think I have a handle on some aspect of it, it changes and starts doing something different.
Thanks for your reply.

The alternative is probably a full table scan.
Are you sure you want to turn it off?
I think you need to hint your SQL to do that.
