Re: force hint on complex view; 9.2.0.6

excellent, that's **part** of the answer I was looking for! thanks Mark/Christian.

I am however looking for options to
--**override** (or turn off) (some of) the existing hints (whether RULE or otherwise), and/or **complement** them with more. Is something like this possible?   

thx much,
Cos

I think what you want are global hints:

Hope that helps,
