Try the following per "Specifying a Full Set of Hints" in the 9ir2
Performance Tuning Guide and Reference

SELECT  /*+ index(a index_A) index(b index_B) */
column1,column2,column3,column4
    from  table_a a,table_b b
where a.something = b.something;

Subject: Forcing SQL query to use 2 index hints

Hello all,
  I am attempting to force a query to use 2 index hints, but am not
having 
any luck with finding the correct syntax.

  The query works, and if I add 1 index hint, the explain plan output
shows 
that it is using the index I specify. However, I need it to use 2 hints:

What is the correct syntax?

SELECT  /*+ index(a index_A, b index_B) */
column1,column2,column3,column4
    from  table_a a,table_b b
where a.something = b.something;

(The above is not using "index_B" .... how do I force it to use
index_B?? 
Only index_A is being used. What is the correct syntax?)

Thank you!!!!!
