The optimizer cannot ignore the index hint for that query.
Therefore the hint is illegal.

The first thing to check is whether you have a column
coercion issue.  What are the types of the columns
and of the input variables - and what does OEM tell you about the run-time predicates ?

The statement is expected to fetch only 1 or 2 rows. The default Oracle
gather_stats generates a histogram size auto.

We've provided an index hint in  the SQL and Oracle sill ignores the
index.

Our query is :

Select * from tableA where fielda=:A and fieldb=:B

We have an index on tableA (fielda, fieldb), but Oracle isn't using the
index.
