That really confuse me. What you say is that, if I use any hints exept RULE, and even though I haven't collected ANY statistics (there is absolutely NO statistics genererated an any object whatsoever), Oracle (optimizer) will choose CBO?
My problem is that I want of course in most cases optimizer to choose CBO, but from the information I have got it seems that it will choose RBO if I haven't rembered to use ANALYZE first. I have tried different approches and from the EXPLAIN PLAN it also seems to choose CBO even though I have not used ANALYZE. But maybe I read something wrong?
