PMFJI. If you set OPTIMIZER_GOAL=FIRST_ROWS for the entire database you'll have a *big* problem in your hands with most of the dictionary views, including catexp, becoming exceedingly slow.

It's better (if you can) to stay with CHOOSE and analyze just what you need. Then you fiddle with OPTIMIZER_COST_ADJ and OPTIMIZER_INDEX_CACHE to get the right balance of index vs table scan.

Works for me. Except I had to stay with FIRST_ROWS like it or not (due to a bug) and it hasn't been good for dict views at all...

Cheers
