Note: The demos on this page are intended to show valid syntax but it is far easier to use a hint to make a mess of things than it is to improve things. So many, if not most, of the demos will increase the cost.
 
Join methods:

In the loop join algorithm, an outer loop is formed that is composed of a few entries that are to be selected. Then, for each entry in the outer loop, a look-up is performed for matching entries, in the inner loop.

In the merge join algorithm, both tables are accessed in the same order. If there's a sorted index on the matching column, on both tables, then no sorting is needed. All we have to do is read the rows in the order presented by the index. The reason it's called a merge join is that the algorithm, in detail, looks much like the algorithm for merging two (sorted) data streams together.

Let's say we got two tables, ORDERS and ORDER_ITEMS. Let's say we have sorted indexes on ORDER_NUMBER on both tables. Naturally, the index on ORDERS can forbid duplicates, while the index on ORDER_ITEMS has to permit duplicates.

Now, in this case, which algorithm is faster? It depends.

Let's say we want to look up a single order. This happens in OLTP systems a lot. The loop join is probably faster. The outer loop will find a single order number, and that means the inner loop will have to probe the index on ORDER_ITEMS just once. This is true even if we have to scan the order table, based on CUSTOMER_ID and ORDER_DATE.

Now let's say we want a report for all the reports, with details for April. The merge join is probably faster. With hundreds of orders to process, walking the index on ORDER_ITEMS once beats the heck out of doing hundreds of probes.
Fully Hinting Comment by Jonathan Lewis on USENET.

Consider, for example:

SELECT /*+ index(t1 t1_abc) index(t2 t2_abc) */ COUNT(*)
FROM t1, t2
WHERE t1.col1 = t2.col1;


For weeks, this may give you the plan:

  
NESTED LOOP
     table access by rowid t1
       index range scan t1_abc
     table access by rowid t2
       index range scan t2_abc


Then, because of changes in statistics, or init.ora parameters, or nullity of a column, or a few other situations that may have slipped my mind at the moment, this might change to

  HASH JOIN
      table access by rowid t2
        index range scan t2_abc
      table access by rowid t1
        index range scan t1_abc


Your hints are still obeyed, the plan has changed. On the other hand, if you had specified

SELECT
/*+ no_parallel(t1) no_parallel(t2) no_parallel_index(t1) no_parallel_index(t2)
ordered use_nl(t2) index(t1 t1_abc) index(t2 t2_abc) */
COUNT(*)
FROM t1, t2
WHERE t1.col1 = t2.col1;


Then I think you could be fairly confident that there was no way that Oracle could obey the hints whilst changing the access path.
 
Optimizer Approaches

ALL_ROWS
The ALL_ROWS hint explicitly chooses the cost-based approach to optimize a statement block with a goal of best throughput (that is, minimum total resource consumption).

/*+ ALL_ROWS */
conn / as sysdba

set linesize 121
col name format a30
col value format a30

SELECT name, value
FROM gv$parameter
WHERE name LIKE '%optimizer%';

ALTER SYSTEM SET optimizer_mode=RULE SCOPE=MEMORY;

set autotrace traceonly explain

SELECT table_name
FROM dba_tables
WHERE owner = 'SYS'
AND table_name LIKE '%$'
ORDER BY 1;

SELECT /*+ ALL_ROWS */ table_name
FROM dba_tables
WHERE owner = 'SYS'
AND table_name LIKE '%$'
ORDER BY 1;

ALTER SYSTEM SET optimizer_mode=ALL_ROWS SCOPE=MEMORY;

FIRST_ROWS(n)
The FIRST_ROWS hint explicitly chooses the cost-based approach to optimize a statement block with a goal of best response time (minimum resource usage to return first row).

This hint causes the optimizer to make these choices:

  • If an index scan is available, the optimizer may choose it over a full table scan.
  • If an index scan is available, the optimizer may choose a nested loops join over a sort-merge join whenever the associated table is the potential inner table of the nested loops.
  • If an index scan is made available by an ORDER BY clause, the optimizer may choose it to avoid a sort operation.
  • The optimizer ignores this hint in DELETE and UPDATE statement blocks and in SELECT statement blocks that contain any of the following: UNION, INTERSECT, MINUS, UNION ALL, GROUP BY, FOR UPDATE, aggregating function and the DISTINCT operator.

/*+ FIRST_ROWS() */

set autotrace trace exp

SELECT table_name
FROM dba_tables
WHERE owner = 'SYS'
AND table_name LIKE '%$'
ORDER BY 1;

SELECT /*+ FIRST_ROWS(10) */ table_name
FROM dba_tables
WHERE owner = 'SYS'
AND table_name LIKE '%$'
ORDER BY 1;

-- the differences are subtle so look closely

RULE
Disables the use of the optimizer. This hint is not supported and should not be used.

/*+ RULE */
set autotrace trace exp

SELECT table_name
FROM dba_tables
WHERE owner = 'SYS'
AND table_name LIKE '%$'
ORDER BY 1;

SELECT /*+ RULE */ table_name
FROM dba_tables
WHERE owner = 'SYS'
AND table_name LIKE '%$'
ORDER BY 1;
 
General

APPEND
Instructs the optimizer to use direct-path INSERT if your database is running in serial mode. Your database is in serial mode if you are not using Enterprise Edition. Conventional INSERT is the default in serial mode, and direct-path INSERT is the default in parallel mode.

In direct-path INSERT, data is appended to the end of the table, rather than using existing space currently allocated to the table. As a result, direct-path INSERT can be considerably faster than conventional INSERT.

When you use the APPEND hint for INSERT, data is simply appended to a table above the HWM which has the effect of not creating UNDO. Existing free space in blocks is not used.

/*+ APPEND */
CREATE TABLE t AS
SELECT *
FROM servers
WHERE 1=2;

INSERT /*+ NO_APPEND */ INTO t
SELECT * FROM servers;

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t;

INSERT INTO t
SELECT * FROM servers;

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t;

INSERT /*+ APPEND */ INTO t
SELECT * FROM servers;

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t;

COMMIT;

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM t;

NOAPPEND
Instructs the optimizer to use conventional INSERT by disabling parallel mode for the duration of the INSERT statement. Conventional INSERT is the default in serial mode, and direct-path INSERT is the default in parallel mode.

/*+ NOAPPEND */
See APPEND Demo Above

CACHE
Instructs the optimizer to place the blocks retrieved for the table at the most recently used end of the LRU list in the buffer cache when a full table scan is performed. This hint is useful for small lookup tables.

/*+ CACHE([@queryblock] ) */
conn hr/hr

set autotrace traceonly exp

SELECT /*+ FULL (hr_emp) CACHE(hr_emp) */ last_name
FROM employees hr_emp;

SELECT /*+ FULL(hr_emp) NOCACHE(hr_emp) */ last_name
FROM employees hr_emp;

NO_CACHE
Specifies that the blocks retrieved for this table are placed at the least recently used end of the LRU list in the buffer cache when a full table scan is performed. This is the normal behavior of blocks in the buffer cache.

/*+ NOCACHE([@queryblock] ]) */
See CACHE Demo Above

CURSOR_SHARING_EXACT
Oracle can replace literals in SQL statements with bind variables, when it is safe to do so. This replacement is controlled with the CURSOR_SHARING initialization parameter. The CURSOR_SHARING_EXACT hint instructs the optimizer to switch this behavior off. In other words, Oracle executes the SQL statement without any attempt to replace literals with bind variables.

/*+ CURSOR_SHARING_EXACT */
conn / as sysdba

ALTER SYSTEM SET cursor_sharing='SIMILAR' SCOPE=BOTH;

ALTER SYSTEM FLUSH SHARED_POOL;
ALTER SYSTEM FLUSH SHARED_POOL;

-- as the client run two similar SQL statements
SELECT latitude FROM uwclass.servers WHERE srvr_id = 1;
SELECT latitude FROM uwclass.servers WHERE srvr_id = 2;
SELECT latitude FROM uwclass.servers WHERE srvr_id = 3;

-- as SYS look in the shared pool
set linesize 121
col sql_text format a50

SELECT address, child_address, sql_text, sql_id
FROM gv$sql
WHERE sql_fulltext LIKE '%uwclass%';

SELECT /*+ CURSOR_SHARING_EXACT */ latitude FROM uwclass.servers WHERE srvr_id = 3;

SELECT address, child_address, sql_text, sql_id
FROM gv$sql
WHERE sql_fulltext LIKE '%uwclass%';

DRIVING_SITE
Forces query execution to be done at a user selected  site rather than at a site selected by the database. This hint is useful if you are using distributed query optimization.

/*+ DRIVING_SITE([@queryblock] ) */
SELECT p1.first_name, p2.first_name, p2.last_name
FROM person p1, person@psoug_user p2
WHERE p1.person_id = p2.person_id
AND p1.first_name <> p2.first_name;

SELECT /*+ DRIVING_SITE(p1) AAA */ p1.first_name, p2.first_name, p2.last_name
FROM person p1, person@psoug_user p2
WHERE p1.person_id = p2.person_id
AND p1.first_name <> p2.first_name;

SELECT sql_text, remote
FROM v$sql
WHERE sql_text LIKE '%AAA%';

SELECT /*+ DRIVING_SITE(p2) BBB */ p1.first_name, p2.first_name, p2.last_name
FROM person p1, person@psoug_user p2
WHERE p1.person_id = p2.person_id
AND p1.first_name <> p2.first_name;

SELECT sql_text, remote
FROM v$sql
WHERE sql_text LIKE '%BBB%';

DYNAMIC_SAMPLING
The DYNAMIC_SAMPLING hint instructs the optimizer how to control dynamic sampling to improve server performance by determining more accurate predicate selectivity and statistics for tables and indexes.

You can set the value of DYNAMIC_SAMPLING to a value from 0 to 10. The higher the level, the more effort the compiler puts into dynamic sampling and the more broadly it is applied. Sampling defaults to cursor level unless you specify tablespec. The integer value is 0 to 10, indicating the degree of sampling.

Force dynamic sampling of tables where statistics do not exist such as Global Temporary Tables.

If the table is aliased the alias name, not the table name must be used

/*+ DYNAMIC_SAMPLING([@queryblock] [] ) */
conn uwclass/uwclass

CREATE TABLE ds AS
SELECT * FROM all_objects
WHERE SUBSTR(object_name,1,1) BETWEEN 'A' AND 'W';

CREATE INDEX ds_objtype
ON ds(object_type);

SELECT object_type, COUNT(*)
FROM ds
GROUP BY object_type;

set autotrace trace exp

SELECT object_name
FROM ds
WHERE object_type = 'JAVA CLASS';

SELECT /*+ DYNAMIC_SAMPLING(ds 0) */ object_name
FROM ds
WHERE object_type = 'JAVA CLASS';

SELECT /*+ DYNAMIC_SAMPLING(ds 4) */ object_name
FROM ds
WHERE object_type = 'JAVA CLASS';

SELECT /*+ DYNAMIC_SAMPLING(ds 9) */ object_name
FROM ds
WHERE object_type = 'JAVA CLASS';

MODEL_MIN_ANALYSIS
Instructs the optimizer to omit some compile-time optimizations of spreadsheet rules梡rimarily detailed dependency graph analysis. Other spreadsheet optimizations, such as creating filters to selectively populate spreadsheet access structures and limited rule pruning, are still used by the optimizer.

This hint reduces compilation time because spreadsheet analysis can be lengthy if the number of spreadsheet rules is more than several hundreds.

/*+ MODEL_MIN_ANALYSIS */
TBD

MONITOR
Forces real-time SQL monitoring for the query, even if the statement is not long running. This hint is valid only when the parameter CONTROL_MANAGEMENT_PACK_ACCESS is set to DIAGNOSTIC+TUNING.

/*+ MONITOR */
SELECT value
FROM v$parameter
WHERE name = 'control_management_pack_access';

SELECT /*+ MONITOR */ COUNT(*)
FROM user_tables;
NO_MONITOR Disables real-time SQL monitoring for the query, even if the query is long running.

/*+ NO_MONITOR */
-- this SQL statement is made intentionally long running
SELECT /*+ NO_MONITOR */ COUNT(*)
FROM dba_segments s, dba_extents e
WHERE s.owner = e.owner;

OPT_PARAM
Lets you set an initialization parameter for the duration of the current query only. This hint is valid only for the  following parameters: OPTIMIZER_DYNAMIC_SAMPLING, OPTIMIZER_INDEX_CACHING, OPTIMIZER_INDEX_COST_ADJ, OPTIMIZER_SECURE_VIEW_MERGING, and STAR_TRANSFORMATION_ENABLED.For example, the following hint sets the parameter STAR_TRANSFORMATION_ENABLED to TRUE for the statement to which it is added.

/*+ OPT_PARAM(parameter_name, parameter_value) */
SELECT name, value
FROM v$parameter
WHERE name LIKE 'optimizer_index%';

SELECT /*+ OPT_PARAM('optimizer_index_cost_adj' '42') */ *
FROM servers;

PUSH_PRED
Instructs the optimizer to push a join predicate into the view.

/*+ PUSH_PRED(<@queryblock> | <[@queryblock> ]) */
conn hr/hr

set autotrace trace exp

SELECT *
FROM employees e, (
  SELECT manager_id
  FROM employees) v
WHERE e.manager_id = v.manager_id(+)
AND e.employee_id = 100;

SELECT /*+ NO_MERGE(v) PUSH_PRED(v) */ *
FROM employees e, (
  SELECT manager_id
  FROM employees) v
WHERE e.manager_id = v.manager_id(+)
AND e.employee_id = 100;

NO_PUSH_PRED
Instructs the optimizer not to push a join predicate into the view.

/*+ NO_PUSH_PRED(<@queryblock> | <[@queryblock> ]) */
conn hr/hr

set autotrace traceonly exp

SELECT *
FROM employees e, (
  SELECT manager_id
  FROM employees) v
WHERE e.manager_id = v.manager_id(+)
AND e.employee_id = 100;

SELECT /*+ NO_MERGE(v) NO_PUSH_PRED(v) */ *
FROM employees e, (
  SELECT manager_id
  FROM employees) v
WHERE e.manager_id = v.manager_id(+)
AND e.employee_id = 100;

PUSH_SUBQ
Instructs the optimizer to evaluate nonmerged subqueries at the earliest possible step in the execution plan. Generally, subqueries that are not merged are executed as the last step in the execution plan. If the subquery is relatively inexpensive and reduces the number of rows significantly, then evaluating the subquery earlier can improve performance.

This hint has no effect if the subquery is applied to a remote table or one that is joined using a merge join.

/*+ PUSH_SUBQ(<@queryblock>) */
TBD

NO_PUSH_SUBQ
Instructs the optimizer to evaluate nonmerged subqueries as the last step in the execution plan. Doing so can improve performance if the subquery is relatively expensive or does not reduce the number of rows significantly.

/*+ NO_PUSH_SUBQ(<@queryblock>) */
TBD
PX_JOIN_FILTER Forces the optimizer to use parallel join bitmap filtering.

/*+ PX_JOIN_FILTER() */
TBD

NO_PX_JOIN_FILTER
Prevents the optimizer from using parallel join bitmap filtering.

/*+ NO_PX_JOIN_FILTER() */
TBD

QB_NAME
Use the QB_NAME hint to define a name for a query block. This name can then be used in a hint in the outer query or even in a hint in an inline view to affect query execution on the tables appearing in the named query block.

If two or more query blocks have the same name, or if the same query block is hinted twice with different names, then the optimizer ignores all the names and the hints referencing that query block. Query blocks that are not named using this hint have unique system-generated names. These names can be displayed in the plan table and can also be used in hints within the query block, or in query block hints.


/*+ QB_NAME() */
conn hr/hr

set autotrace traceonly exp

SELECT employee_id, last_name
FROM employees e
WHERE last_name = 'Smith';

SELECT /*+ QB_NAME(qb) FULL(@qb e) */ employee_id, last_name
FROM employees e
WHERE last_name = 'Smith';

RESULT_CACHE
Instructs the database to cache the results of the current query or query fragment in memory and then to use the cached results in future executions of the query or query fragment. The hint is recognized in the top-level query, the subquery_factoring_clause, or FROM clause inline view. The cached results reside in the result cache memory portion of the shared pool.

/*+ RESULT_CACHE */
TBD

NO_RESULT_CACHE
The optimizer caches query results in the result cache if the RESULT_CACHE_MODE initialization parameter is set to FORCE. In this case, the NO_RESULT_CACHE hint disables such caching for the current query.

/*+ NO_RESULT_CACHE */
TBD
 
Access Method Hints
Each following hint described in this section suggests an access method for a table.

FULL
Explicitly chooses a full table scan for the specified table

/*+ FULL() */
conn uwclass/uwclass

set autotrace traceonly explain

SELECT latitude
FROM servers
WHERE srvr_id = 1;

SELECT /*+ FULL(servers) */ latitude
FROM servers
WHERE srvr_id = 1;

INDEX
Explicitly chooses an index scan for the specified table. You can use the INDEX hint for domain, B*-tree, and bitmap indexes. However, Oracle recommends using INDEX_COMBINE rather than INDEX for bitmap indexes because it is a more versatile hint

/*+ INDEX([@queryblock] ) */
conn oe/oe

CREATE INDEX ix_customers_gender
ON customers(gender);

set autotrace traceonly explain

SELECT *
FROM customers
WHERE gender = 'M';

SELECT /*+ INDEX(customers ix_customers_gender) */ *
FROM customers
WHERE gender = 'M';

SELECT /*+ INDEX_ASC(customers ix_customers_gender) */ *
FROM customers
WHERE gender = 'M';

SELECT /*+ INDEX_DESC(customers ix_customers_gender) */ *
FROM customers
WHERE gender = 'M';

INDEX_ASC
Explicitly chooses an index scan for the specified table. If the statement uses an index range scan, Oracle scans the index entries in ascending order of their indexed values

/*+ INDEX_ASC([@queryblock] ) */
See INDEX Demo Above

INDEX_DESC
Explicitly chooses an index scan for the specified table. If the statement uses an index range scan, Oracle scans the index entries in descending order of their indexed values.

/*+ INDEX_DESC([@queryblock] ) */
See INDEX Demo Above

NO_INDEX
Explicitly disallows a set of indexes for the specified table. The NO_INDEX hint applies to function-based, B*-tree, bitmap, cluster, or domain indexes.

/*+ NO_INDEX([@queryblock] ) */
conn uwclass/uwclass

set autotrace traceonly explain

SELECT latitude
FROM servers s, serv_inst i
WHERE s.srvr_id = i.srvr_id;

SELECT /*+ NO_INDEX(i pk_serv_inst) */ latitude
FROM servers s, serv_inst i
WHERE s.srvr_id = i.srvr_id;

INDEX_FFS
Causes a fast full index scan rather than a full table scan. Appears to be identical to INDEX_FFS_ASC.

/*+ INDEX_FFS([@queryblock] ) */
See INDEX SCAN Demos Below

INDEX_FFS_ASC
Causes a fast full index scan rather than a full table scan

/*+ INDEX_FFS_ASC([@queryblock] ) */
See INDEX SCAN Demos Below

INDEX_FFS_DESC
Causes a fast full index scan in descending order rather than a full table scan

/*+ INDEX_FFS_DESC([@queryblock] ) */
See INDEX SCAN Demos Below

NO_INDEX_FFS
Instructs the optimizer to exclude a fast full index scan of the specified indexes.

/*+ NO_INDEX_FFS([@queryblock] ) */
conn uwclass/uwclass

set autotrace traceonly exp

SELECT latitude
FROM servers s, serv_inst i
WHERE s.srvr_id = i.srvr_id;

SELECT /*+ NO_INDEX_FFS(i pk_serv_inst) NO_INDEX_FFS(i ix_serv_inst) */ latitude
FROM servers s, serv_inst i
WHERE s.srvr_id = i.srvr_id;

INDEX_RS
Instructs the optimizer to perform an index range scan for the specified table.

/*+ INDEX_RS([@queryblock] ) */
TBD

INDEX_RS_ASC
Instructs the optimizer to perform an index range scan for the specified table.

/*+ INDEX_RS([@queryblock] ) */
TBD

INDEX_RS_DESC
Instructs the optimizer to perform an index range scan for the specified table.

/*+ INDEX_RS([@queryblock] ) */
TBD

NO_INDEX_RS
Instructs the optimizer to exclude an index range scan of the specified indexes.

/*+ NO_INDEX_RS([@queryblock] ) */
conn hr/hr

col column_name format a30

SELECT column_position, column_name
FROM user_ind_columns
WHERE index_name = 'EMP_NAME_IX';

set autotrace traceonly explain

SELECT first_name
FROM employees e
WHERE last_name BETWEEN 'A' AND 'B';

SELECT /*+ NO_INDEX_RS(e emp_name_ix) */ last_name
FROM employees e
WHERE first_name BETWEEN 'A' AND 'B';

INDEX_SS
Instructs the optimizer to perform an index skip scan for the specified table. If the statement uses an index range scan, then Oracle scans the index entries in ascending order of their indexed values. In a partitioned index, the results are in ascending order within each partition.

/*+ INDEX_SS([@queryblock] ) */
See INDEX SCAN Demos Below

INDEX_SS_ASC
Instructs the optimizer to perform an index skip scan for the specified table. If the statement uses an index range scan, then Oracle Database scans the index entries in ascending order of their indexed values. In a partitioned index, the results are in ascending order within each partition. Each parameter serves the same purpose as in "INDEX Hint".

The default behavior for a range scan is to scan index entries in ascending order of their indexed values, or in descending order for a descending index. This hint does not change the default order of the index, and therefore does not specify anything more than the INDEX_SS hint. However, you can use the INDEX_SS_ASC hint to specify ascending range scans explicitly should the default behavior change.

/*+ INDEX_SS_ASC([@queryblock] ) */
See INDEX SCAN Demos Below

INDEX_SS_DESC
Instructs the optimizer to perform an index skip scan for the specified table. If the statement uses an index range scan and the index is ascending, then Oracle scans the index entries in descending order of their indexed values. In a partitioned index, the results are in descending order within each partition. For a descending index, this hint effectively cancels out the descending order, resulting in a scan of the index entries in ascending order.

/*+ INDEX_SS_DESC([@queryblock] ) */
See INDEX SCAN Demos Below

NO_INDEX_SS
Instructs the optimizer to exclude a skip scan of the specified indexes.

/*+ NO_INDEX_SS([@queryblock] ) */
TBD

INDEX_COMBINE
Explicitly chooses a bitmap access path for the table. If no indexes are given as arguments for the INDEX_COMBINE hint, the optimizer uses whatever Boolean combination of bitmap indexes has the best cost estimate for the table. If certain indexes are given as arguments, the optimizer tries to use some Boolean combination of those particular bitmap indexes.

/*+ INDEX_DESC([@queryblock] ) */
conn hr/hr

set autotrace traceonly explain

SELECT *
FROM employees e
WHERE (manager_id = 108) OR (department_id = 110);

SELECT /*+ INDEX_COMBINE(e emp_manager_ix emp_department_ix) */ *
FROM employees e
WHERE (manager_id = 108) OR (department_id = 110);

INDEX_JOIN
Explicitly instructs the optimizer to use an index join as an access path. For the hint to have a positive effect, a sufficiently small number of indexes must exist that contain all the columns required to resolve the query.

/*+ INDEX_JOIN([@queryblock] ) */
conn oe/oe

set autotrace traceonly explain

SELECT department_id
FROM employees e
WHERE manager_id < 110
AND department_id < 50;

Cluster Only Access Method Hints
Each following hint can only be used with clusters.

CLUSTER
explicitly chooses a cluster scan to access the specified table. Only applies to clusters.

/*+  CLUSTER([@queryblock] ) */
conn uwclass/uwclass

CREATE CLUSTER sc_srvr_id (
srvr_id NUMBER(10))
SIZE 1024;

CREATE INDEX idx_sc_srvr_id ON CLUSTER sc_srvr_id;

CREATE TABLE cservers
CLUSTER sc_srvr_id (srvr_id) AS
SELECT * FROM servers;

CREATE TABLE cserv_inst
CLUSTER sc_srvr_id (srvr_id) AS
SELECT * FROM serv_inst;

set autotrace traceonly exp

SELECT srvr_id
FROM cservers
WHERE srvr_id = 503
GROUP BY srvr_id;

SELECT /*+ CLUSTER(cservers) */ srvr_id
FROM cservers
WHERE srvr_id = 503
GROUP BY srvr_id;

HASH
Explicitly chooses a hash scan to access the specified table. Only applies to clusters.

/*+ HASH() */
conn uwclass/uwclass

CREATE CLUSTER sthc_si (srvr_id NUMBER(10))
SIZE 1024 SINGLE TABLE HASHKEYS 11
TABLESPACE uwdata;

CREATE TABLE si_hash
CLUSTER sthc_si (srvr_id) AS
SELECT *

set autotrace traceonly explain

SELECT srvr_id

WHERE srvr_id = 503
GROUP BY srvr_id;

SELECT /*+ HASH(si_hash) */ srvr_id
FROM si_hash
WHERE srvr_id = 503
GROUP BY srvr_id;
 
Join Order
The hints in this section suggest join orders:

LEADING
Instructs the optimizer to use the specified set of tables as the prefix in the execution plan.

/*+ LEADING([@queryblock] ) */
conn hr/hr

set autotrace traceonly explain

SELECT *
FROM employees e, departments d, job_history j
WHERE e.department_id = d.department_id
AND e.hire_date = j.start_date;

SELECT /*+ LEADING(e j) */ *
FROM employees e, departments d, job_history j
WHERE e.department_id = d.department_id
AND e.hire_date = j.start_date;

ORDERED
Causes Oracle to only join tables in the order in which they appear in the FROM clause.

/*+ ORDERED */
conn oe/oe

set autotrace traceonly explain

SELECT o.order_id, c.customer_id, l.unit_price * l.quantity
FROM customers c, order_items l, orders o
WHERE c.cust_last_name = 'Mastroianni'
AND o.customer_id = c.customer_id
AND o.order_id = l.order_id;

SELECT /*+ ORDERED */ o.order_id, c.customer_id, l.unit_price * l.quantity
FROM customers c, order_items l, orders o
WHERE c.cust_last_name = 'Mastroianni'
AND o.customer_id = c.customer_id
AND o.order_id = l.order_id;
 
Join Operation
Each hint described in this section suggests a join operation for a table.

USE_HASH
Causes Oracle to join each specified table with another row source with a hash join.

/*+ USE_HASH([@queryblock] ) */
conn uwclass/uwclass

set autotrace traceonly explain

SELECT DISTINCT s.srvr_id
FROM servers s, serv_inst i

/*+ NO_USE_HASH([@queryblock] ) */
TBD

USE_MERGE
Causes Oracle to join each specified table with another row source with a sort-merge join.

/*+ USE_NL_WITH_INDEX([@queryblock] ) */
conn oe/oe

set autotrace traceonly explain

SELECT *

SELECT /*+ NO_USE_NL(l h) */ *
FROM orders h, order_items l
WHERE l.order_id = h.order_id
AND l.order_id > 3500;

NATIVE_FULL_OUTER_JOIN
instructs the optimizer to use native full outer join, which is a native execution method based on a hash join.

/*+ NATIVE_FULL_OUTER_JOIN( */
TBD

NO_NATIVE_FULL_OUTER_JOIN
Instructs the optimizer to exclude the native execution method when joining each specified table. Instead, the full outer join is executed as a union of left outer join and anti-join.

/*+ NO_NATIVE_FULL_OUTER_JOIN */
TBD
 
Parallel Execution
The hints described in this section determine how statements are parallelized or not parallelized when using parallel execution.

PARALLEL
Specify the desired number of concurrent servers that can be used for a parallel operation. The hint applies to the INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE portions of a statement as well as to the table scan portion. If any parallel restrictions are violated, the hint is ignored.

/*+ PARALLEL([@queryblock] ) */
conn hr/hr

set autotrace traceonly exp

SELECT last_name
FROM employees hr_emp;

SELECT /*+ FULL(hr_emp) PARALLEL(hr_emp, 2) */ last_name
FROM employees hr_emp;

-- overrides table definition and uses init parmameter
SELECT /*+ FULL(hr_emp) PARALLEL(hr_emp, DEFAULT) */ last_name
FROM employees hr_emp;

NO_PARALLEL
Overrides a PARALLEL specification in the table clause. In general, hints take precedence over table clauses.

/*+ NO_PARALLEL([@queryblock] ) */
conn hr/hr

CREATE TABLE employees_demo
PARALLEL (DEGREE 4) AS
SELECT * FROM employees;

SELECT table_name, degree
FROM user_tables;

set autotrace traceonly exp

SELECT last_name
FROM employees_demo hr_emp;

SELECT /*+ NO_PARALLEL(hr_emp) */ last_name
FROM employees_demo hr_emp;

PARALLEL_INDEX
Specify the desired number of concurrent servers that can be used to parallelize index range scans for partitioned indexes.

/*+ PARALLEL_INDEX([@queryblock] ) */
TBD

NO_PARALLEL_INDEX
Override a PARALLEL attribute setting on an index. In this way you can avoid a parallel index scan operation.

/*+ NO_PARALLEL_INDEX([@queryblock] ) */
TBD

PQ_DISTRIBUTE
Improve parallel join operation performance. Do this by specifying how rows of joined tables should be distributed among producer and consumer query servers. Using this hint overrides decisions the optimizer would normally make.

Outer_distribution is the distribution for the outer table.
Inner_distribution is the distribution for the inner table.

/*+ PQ_DISTRIBUTE([@queryblock] ) */
TBD
 
Query Transformation

FACT
In the context of the star transformation. It instructs the optimizer that the table specified in table specification should be considered as a fact table.

/*+ FACT([@queryblock] ) */
TBD

NO_FACT
Used in the context of the star transformation. It instruct the optimizer that the queried table should not be considered as a fact table.

/*+ NO_FACT([@queryblock] ) */
TBD

NO_EXPAND
Prevents the cost-based optimizer from considering OR-expansion for queries having OR conditions or INLISTS in the WHERE clause. Normally, the optimizer would consider using OR expansion and use this method if it decides the cost is lower than not using it.

/*+ NO_EXPAND(<@queryblock>);
conn oe/oe

set autotrace traceonly explain

SELECT *
FROM employees e, departments d
WHERE e.manager_id = 108
OR d.department_id = 110;

SELECT /*+ NO_EXPAND */ *
FROM employees e, departments d
WHERE e.manager_id = 108
OR d.department_id = 110;

MERGE
The MERGE hint lets you merge views in a query. If a view's query block contains a GROUP BY clause or DISTINCT operator in the SELECT list, then the optimizer can merge the view into the accessing statement only if complex view merging is enabled. Complex merging can also be used to merge an IN subquery into the accessing statement if the subquery is uncorrelated.

/*+ MERGE(<@queryblock> [tablespec]); */
conn hr/hr

set autotrace traceonly explain

SELECT e1.last_name, e1.salary, v.avg_salary
FROM employees e1, (
  SELECT department_id, AVG(salary) avg_salary
  FROM employees e2
  GROUP BY department_id) v
WHERE e1.department_id = v.department_id
AND e1.salary > v.avg_salary

SELECT /*+ MERGE(v) */ e1.last_name, e1.salary, v.avg_salary
FROM employees e1, (
  SELECT department_id, AVG(salary) avg_salary
  FROM employees e2
  GROUP BY department_id) v
WHERE e1.department_id = v.department_id
AND e1.salary > v.avg_salary;

NO_MERGE
Instructs the optimizer not to combine the outer query and any inline view queries into a single query.

/*+ NO_MERGE(<@queryblock> [tablespecification]); */
conn hr/hr

set autotrace traceonly explain

SELECT /*+NO_MERGE(seattle_dept)*/ e1.last_name, seattle_dept.department_name
FROM employees e1,
(SELECT location_id, department_id, department_name
FROM departments
WHERE location_id = 1700) seattle_dept
WHERE e1.department_id = seattle_dept.department_id;

SELECT /*+ NO_MERGE(seattle_dept) */ e1.last_name, seattle_dept.department_name
FROM employees e1, (
  SELECT location_id, department_id, department_name
  FROM departments
  WHERE location_id = 1700) seattle_dept
WHERE e1.department_id = seattle_dept.department_id;

NO_QUERY_TRANSFORMATION
Instructs the optimizer to skip all query transformations, including but not limited to OR-expansion, view merging, subquery unnesting, star transformation, and materialized view rewrite.

/*+ NO_QUERY_TRANSFORMATION) */
conn uwclass/uwclass

set autotrace traceonly explain

SELECT DISTINCT srvr_id
FROM servers
WHERE srvr_id NOT IN (
  SELECT srvr_id
  FROM servers
  MINUS
  SELECT srvr_id
  FROM serv_inst);

SELECT /*+ NO_QUERY_TRANSFORMATION */ DISTINCT srvr_id
FROM servers
WHERE srvr_id NOT IN (
  SELECT srvr_id
  FROM servers
  MINUS
  SELECT srvr_id
  FROM serv_inst);

NO_REWRITE
Use on any query block of a request. This hint disables query rewrite for the query block, overriding the setting of the parameter QUERY_REWRITE_ENABLED.

/*+ NO_REWRITE(<@queryblock>) */
conn sh/sh

set autotrace traceonly explain

SELECT SUM(s.amount_sold) AS dollars
FROM sales s, times t
WHERE s.time_id = t.time_id
GROUP BY t.calendar_month_desc;

SELECT /*+ NO_REWRITE */ SUM(s.amount_sold) AS dollars
FROM sales s, times t
WHERE s.time_id = t.time_id
GROUP BY t.calendar_month_desc;

NO_UNNEST
Turns off unnesting of subqueries

/*+ NO_UNNEST(<@queryblock>) */
conn uwclass/uwclass

set autotrace traceonly explain

SELECT srvr_id
FROM servers
WHERE srvr_id IN (
  SELECT /*+ unnest */ srvr_id FROM serv_inst);

    filter("SRVR_ID"=:B1)

REWRITE
Use with or without a view list. If you use REWRITE with a view list and the list contains an eligible materialized view, Oracle uses that view regardless of its cost. Oracle does not consider views outside of the list. If you do not specify a view list, Oracle searches for an eligible materialized view and always uses it regardless of its cost.

/*+ REWRITE([@queryblock] ) */
conn uwclass/uwclass

AS SELECT s.srvr_id, i.installstatus, COUNT(*)
FROM servers s, serv_inst i
WHERE s.srvr_id = i.srvr_id
GROUP BY s.srvr_id, i.installstatus;

set autotrace traceonly exp

SELECT s.srvr_id, i.installstatus, COUNT(*)
FROM servers s, serv_inst i
WHERE s.srvr_id = i.srvr_id
AND s.srvr_id = 502
GROUP BY s.srvr_id, i.installstatus;

SELECT /*+ REWRITE */ s.srvr_id, i.installstatus, COUNT(*)
FROM servers s, serv_inst i
WHERE s.srvr_id = i.srvr_id
AND s.srvr_id = 502
GROUP BY s.srvr_id, i.installstatus;

STAR_TRANSFORMATION
Makes the optimizer use the best plan in which the transformation has been used. Without the hint, the optimizer could make a cost-based decision to use the best plan generated without the transformation, instead of the best plan for the transformed query.

Even if the hint is given, there is no guarantee that the transformation will take place. The optimizer will only generate the subqueries if it seems reasonable to do so. If no subqueries are generated, there is no transformed query, and the best plan for the untransformed query will be used regardless of the hint.

/*+ STAR_TRANSFORMATION(<@queryblock>) */
conn sh/sh

set autotrace traceonly exp

SELECT *
FROM sales s, times t, products p, channels c
WHERE s.time_id = t.time_id
AND s.prod_id = p.prod_id

AND p.prod_status = 'obsolete';

SELECT /*+ STAR_TRANSFORMATION */ *

WHERE s.time_id = t.time_id
AND s.prod_id = p.prod_id
AND s.channel_id = c.channel_id
AND p.prod_status = 'obsolete';

NO_STAR_TRANSFORMATION
Instructs the optimizer not to perform star query transformation.

/*+ NO_STAR_TRANSFORMATION(<@queryblock>) */
TBD

UNNEST
Instructs the optimizer to unnest and merge the body of the subquery into the body of the query block that contains it, allowing the optimizer to consider them together when evaluating access paths and joins.

/*+ UNNEST(<@queryblock>) */
See NO_UNNEST Demo Above

USE_CONCAT
Forces combined OR conditions in the WHERE clause of a query to be transformed into a compound query using the UNION ALL set operator. Normally, this transformation occurs only if the cost of the query using the concatenations is cheaper than the cost without them.

The USE_CONCAT hint turns off inlist processing and OR-expands all disjunctions, including inlists.
conn hr/hr

set autotrace traceonly explain

SELECT *
FROM employees e
WHERE manager_id = 108
OR department_id = 110;

SELECT /*+ USE_CONCAT */ *

Instructs the optimizer to prohibit the rewriting of XPath expressions in SQL statements.

/*+ NO_XMLINDEX_REWRITE */
SELECT /*+ NO_XMLINDEX_REWRITE */ COUNT(*)
FROM table WHERE existsNode(OBJECT_VALUE, '/*') = 1;

NO_XML_QUERY_REWRITE
