There's probably a way to give Oracle an optimizer hint that would take care of this. I've seen DBAs use optimizer hints to make Oracle use certain indexes before.

Not in this case. Hints influence how a query gets executed, but not in ways (as far as I know) that would result in the answer being wrong. Honoring a "trust me, you can use an index" hint would result in a bogus result set if the value bound for a LIKE clause had a leading wildcard.

Hints are great when a query plan is joining tables in a reasonable, but suboptimal, sequence. Any way you join should give you the same result set.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
