My prediction is that RULE hint will really go away as soon as apps no
longer uses it anywhere.  I have heard the same thing about its use.

I have not supported Oracle Apps, but from what I understand it is
loaded with hints and I believe some of the using "RULE hint.
Seems a little "Do as I say not as I do" from Oracle Corp....eh?

I agree about the spending all day on with stats and explain plans.
I have a script to look for blocking locks using v$ views...it ran ok,
but a DBA friend made if faster in about 5 minutes by adding a RULE
hint.
Maybe I should be going after the base Oracle tables, but I don't have
all day.

Finally about execution plans and speed changing of sql using the RBO.
If I'm not mistaken many environment changes can effect CBO too!?
