This is facinating, where does this come from? This is the second time in a week that I've heard this statement being made by someone. Hints will never go away IMHO, and Oracle continues to add more and more of them. I was told by someone at a client site that they were told by an Oracle instructor that they should not use hints in 9i....

Hi,

Does Oracle have an official position on hints ? Will they go away as the optimiser is becoming bettre or they are there to stay ?
