+AD4APg +AD4 +AD4 there are more than 100 hints from Oracle, if you pick 3 out from

+AD4APg +AD4 Precisely. So why advertise that Tosska crap as a product that can

+AD4APg +AD4
+AD4APg +AD4 +ACI-in which the engine tries every possible Oracle Hints combinations
+AD4APg +AD4 for a SQL statement to improve the execution speed+ACI
+AD4APg +AD4
+AD4APg +AD4 doesn't now mean a brute force approach?
+AD4APg
+AD4APg Yes, you are right. It should be
+AD4APg
+AD4APg +ACI-in which the engine tries every possible effective Oracle Hints
+AD4APg combinations for .....+ACI
+AD4
+AD4 So it uses some heuristic algorithms.
+AD4 Somehow it is better than an experienced DBA?

Probably cheaper. Not the same results, but accurate enough and cheaper. One of the few defeats for Oracle RDBMS was handed down to Larry by the Microsoft Corp. The most prevalent marketing pitch for SQL Server at the time was that anyone who knows Windows can be a DBA for SQL Server. And Oracle has worked hard to eliminate the role of a DBA. They have almost succeeded. Unfortunately for them, SQL Server pitch is no longer +ACI-it's much cheaper and you don't need a DBA+ACI, but +ACI-it's almost as good as Oracle and much cheaper than Oracle. A good SQL Server DBA is much cheaper than a good Oracle DBA+ACI. What Oracle needs is a DBA who will know every nook and cranny of the product and make much greater investment into the database software worthwhile, if it's even possible. [Quoted] [Quoted] Unfortunately, Oracle Corp. has turned a caste of competent DBA personnel [Quoted] [Quoted] into bitter enemies. Unfortunately, such people would be needed now more than ever, to employ their vast technical knowledge and experience and give Oracle some wind beneath its wing. I am afraid that DEC story is about to be repeated.

It's not meant for you, it's meant for your PHB. Your PHB is the guy who signs the check.
