There have been problems using the cost-based optimizer ( I'm assuming that you are using cost-based since you mentioned hints). The optimizer can choose different access paths depending on if you are using literals or bind variables. I'm assuming that you have analyzed your tables.

I have been successful using a couple of methods, once we upgraded from 7.3.2 to 7.3.3 and overcame a bug with the optimizer. Other times, we have switched to rule-based and the behavior was more predictable.
