Hi Cherie,
I think you can't turn this feature off at the instance level as it became
internal
for 8i.
But if you did it you would loose an excellent path for some queries with
'cover
indexes'. Certainly, you can use hints for that. In generall I don't like
using hints
I prefer to rely on CBO's estimates but sometimes hints make sense.
Regards,
Ed
