Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: sources for hidden and useful hints for testin
There are quite a lot of hints which are undocumented - of which a couple appear only on metalink, and some in the recursive SQL used by the database.
I suspect some hints are undocumented because they were simply overlooked when the manuals were being written. Some are clearly not supposed to be available to end-users.

What hints are you talking about? So far as I'm aware, all the valid SQL hints are in the Optimizer Hints chapter of the Performance Tuning Guide http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96533/hintsref .htm#8326
