John:

OH!  D'OH!  <expletives deleted>

I missed your paper at IOUG.  Probably shouldn't have.  This
particular query had an index hint in it.  We did not try 
running the query without the hint until the tables were
almost all analyzed.

Can you shoot me a copy of your paper?  Or point me towards
a copy on the net?

Thanks,
Mike

Contrary to common understanding, the Cost based optimizer is 'forced' in
certain situations even if the mode is RULE. Examples are: Use of hints
other than RULE, Partitioned tables and indexes, Index-organized tables,
Reverse key indexes, Function-based indexes, SAMPLE clauses in a SELECT
statement, Parallel execution and parallel DML (i.e. presence of DEGREE on
Tables/Indexes), etc. Was this the case? This was the focus of my paper at
IOUG...
