OK. To clarify my point:

Case1: In the world where sql developer says literally "a man must not have to think" CBO is a right thing. Let the software think.

Case2: in the world "do once and forget" I need stable sql plans. The "operational manager doesn't do a good job" does not work here. There is no problem to build even simple counter cases when CBO goes astray. What sql developer best practices would be then?

To the previous list I can think of to add one more: - bundle "good" statistics into your product setup.
