Re: USE_NL with or without ORDERED

This is perfectly reasonable (assuming
you are still following my example)

By instructing Oracle that joins INTO
both C and E should be constrained
to nested loop joins, you have stopped
Oracle from calculating E -> C using
a hash join, and therefore stopped it
from finding the hash join with swapped
sides.
