Avoiding table or index access at all

I want to set a condition in the where clause of the select statement which eliminates any table (or index) access or atleast minimizes the time needed to execute statement.

To be more specific:
The query selects from all_objects and I would like it not to return any rows and not to perform and activity at all.

Is that possible with the where condition or some hint perhaps ?

Please don't ask me about details of what it's for (It's hardcoded in application, but I can add where clause manually). Received on Wed May 25 2005 - 09:51:14 CDT
