>>> In contrast, using hints to tune a SQL is relatively safer,

This is wrong and Jonathan Lewis definitively demonstrated it more than a decade ago, demonstration which is still valid in the current versions and for all the futures ones.

You should take advantage to read Oracle documentation which states: https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/SQLRF/sql_elements006.htm#SQLRF00219 https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/12.2/sqlrf/Comments.html#GUID-D316D545-89E2-4D54-977F-FC97815CD62E

Hints should be used sparingly, and only after you have collected statistics on the relevant tables and evaluated the optimizer plan without hints using the EXPLAIN PLAN statement. Changing database conditions as well as query performance enhancements in subsequent releases can have significant impact on how hints in your code affect performance. </quote>

And you still did not answer to the pertinent remarks made by Nuno, Mladen and Ed in one of your previous threads about your "product".
Go away ignorant spammer!
