I have a vendor application that is running slow. I looked at the code through a product called SQLab and found that most of the code has a ROW_ID hint coded in it. My understanding is that this hint will prevent the code from using indexes even though the tables and indexes are analyzed. I modified the Oracle startup parameters to use optimizer mode = FIRST_ROWS which favors indexes. Now when I run the application the response time is much better. I am thinking this may be a good fix but is there any kind of program logic I could be screwing up by using FIRST_ROWS?
