Folks, When using SQL plan baseline, is it possible to instruct the optimizer to use a baseline that has sub-optimal plan than the one it is currently using. For example, a SQL statement, which cannot be altered because it is coming out of a COTS application, is currently using an index scan and I would like to force it to use FTS. I have tried forcing the optimizer to use the SQL plan baseline but it keeps using the index path and hence ignoring the plan baseline. Any feedback will be appreciated.
