Subject: Materialize hint

I recently ran accross a SQL by Jonathan that uses "materialize" hint.
As was unable to find the hint documented anywhere, and God knows I tried
before asking the question, I must ask the folowing two =20
questions:

1) What does "materialize" hint do and where is it documented?
   I was unable to find it documented in either 10g documentation
   or 9.2 documentation.
2) The same question for "with generator" clause.

This question is, of course, meant for Jonathan but I'd appreciate anybody
else's answer as well.


Here is the SQL:
*******************************************************************
drop table t1;

create table t1
nologging
pctfree 0
as
with generator as (
 select --+ materialize
  rownum  id
 from all_objects
 where rownum <=3D 1000
)
select
 /*+ ordered use_nl(v2) */
 rownum - 1 id
from
 generator v1,
 generator v2
where
 rownum <=3D 65536
;

delete from t1 where id =3D 65001;
delete from t1 where id =3D 65535;


alter table t1 add constraint t1_pk primary key (id);

begin
 dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(user, 't1', cascade =3D> true); end; .
/

select
 placed
from (
 select id, rank() over (order by id) placed  from t1
 )
where
 placed =3D id - 1
and rownum =3D 1
;
