Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: hinting and the rule based optimizer
No, there is new oracle hint in the RDBMS 11i. It goes like this:
select /*+ don't do it */ sysdate from dual;
That turns on the non-deterministic optimizer which takes into account the current mood of the computer as well as the local superstitions. BTW, if we have a ton of books helping dummies to understand computers, shouldn't we have at least one which would help computers understand dummies? It's a larger problem then you think...
