Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Can outlines be fully reverse engineered?
Not 100% possible - (at least until 10g,
where the new variant on the leading()
hint may help).
If you look at outln.ol$hints, you will see it has columns
table_tin
table_pos
For some queries (particularly ones with
suqueries, which yours may be given the
outline reference to sys_alias_1), Oracle
has a mechanism which effectively dictates
the order of table visit that you cannot emulate
in 8i or 9i.
10g has the leading(t1, t2, t3 ....) hint, though, which may solve that problem.
