We have a legacy 8.1.7.3 instance that is in RBO mode. My group does not own 
it, so we cannot change it to CBO.

When I hint anything from an index to ordered, etc... it switches to the CBO 
and since nothing is analyzed, it's an even worse plan... Not allowed to 
analyze the tables either because it's not our property.

Any rules around hinting the RBO in 8.1.7.3? Why would it switch to the CBO 
from a simple hint? I never use the RBO so please bare with me.
