Subject: Materialize hint

I recently ran accross a SQL by Jonathan that uses "materialize" hint. As was unable to find the hint documented anywhere, and God knows I tried before asking the question, I must ask the folowing two =20 questions:

What does "materialize" hint do and where is it documented? I was unable to find it documented in either 10g documentation or 9.2 documentation.
The same question for "with generator" clause.

This question is, of course, meant for Jonathan but I'd appreciate anybody else's answer as well.

Here is the SQL:

drop table t1;

create table t1
nologging
pctfree 0
as
with generator as (
select --+ materialize
rownum id
from all_objects
where rownum <=3D 1000
)
select
/*+ ordered use_nl(v2) */
rownum - 1 id
from
generator v1,
generator v2
where
rownum <=3D 65536
;

delete from t1 where id =3D 65001;
delete from t1 where id =3D 65535;

alter table t1 add constraint t1_pk primary key (id);

begin
dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(user, 't1', cascade =3D> true); end; . /

select
placed
from (
select id, rank() over (order by id) placed from t1 )
where
placed =3D id - 1
and rownum =3D 1
;
