RE: Desupport of RBO

The way I read it is that you can still use it, it's just not officially supported. i.e. If you call up Oracle Support and say my query (SELECT /*+RULE */ blah blah blah...) crashes the database, they will say "Sorry, you're out of luck" or "Switch to cost-based".

|Hi Jared,

|haven't seen it, too. But the fact
|was spreaded over the newsgroups.

|We still have some 3rd party apps that don't use
|*any* feature above Oracle 7 (well, almost). Queries with
|the RULE hint where it's not necessary.
|But if we change a thing, support will be lost.
|So we decided to rewrite the whole app.
|Lucky me: enough work for the next years.
