I'd like to know where the consultant developer got this information :-) This can't be true, I've been working on CRM application where most queries are at the very least 25 way joins. No special CBO settings done for them. Arul On 6/7/07, Joel.Patterson@xxxxxxxxxxx <Joel.Patterson@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
I have received a question from a consultant developer – below. Can anyone answer? I was once told that the CBO can only handle a certain number of tables in a query (16 iirc). Do you know what the CBO does when there are more? Try to optimize based on knowledge of the first 16 tables in the Where clause?
