Join order can be forced by using outer join. Using of indexes can be disabled by changing of simple field usage to an expression. Preferences between ORDER and SORT plans (more commonly between "first row" and "all rows" strategies) can be changed by using FIRST/ROWS. Index statistics recalculation can be done in "a right moment". -- WBR, SD.
