Hi ,

I am trying to add the OPT_PARAM hint to change the WORK_AREA_POLICY parameter in a query but it does not seems to be responding.

select /*+ opt_param('workarea_size_policy','manual')
opt_param('sort_area_size',100000000)
opt_param('hash_area_size',100000000)
*/ *
from V1;

V1 is a view. I am trying to remove temp space usage in a hash join, when I set the session using "alter session set workarea_size_policy=MANUAL" and then the sizes it seems to be working. But using the hint .. have not been successful.

Please let me know if there is a way to do it using this hint.

I am trying to see the impact using explain plan and from real response of the query.

Thanks,
Rasike

What make you think you can use these hints and parameters in a query?

Officially, depending upon your release of Oracle:

1. this may still be an undocumented feature.
2. where documented it officially only supports a few parameters.
3. unofficially it does actually set many parameters though there is no list of what these are that I have found so you have to guess.
4. it does not support all parameters.  Work area related parameters may simply be ones that do not work with it, I don't know that one.
5. it is not something I would encourage in a production situation.
