You may have seen it in an article.
The reliability of information depends on the source.

i cant reproduce the data for you. its internal. I tested it repeatedly. =
I=20
was very careful about the hint.=20

select /*+ index(<index_name>) */=20
select /*+ index(<table> <index_name>) */

Tried it repeatedly. I've seen it before. Sorry, I cant show you the =
data,=20
etc... I could have swarn I read in the docs that hints are just=20
directives and oracle does not have to use them? I cant find it right =
now.=20
Am I wrong? I'm pretty sure I have seen that several times.=20
