My apologies for the colorful language. I do recall a general discussion
about how there was no standard for optimizer hints. But I don't recall
ANSI's silence on the matter being put forward as an objection.
Cheers,

I don't think anyone is "attacking" anything, it's just a discussion of
the various issues and views.
I think optimizer directives went through a similar discussion, mainly
centering on not generating a system where SQL statements would no
longer run on other database systems.
