I heard this from a COTS vendor once. I also thought it was ridiculous. It is one of the useful ways to tune SQL Statements. I have only gotten the impression from their inception into the Oracle RDBMS that they were advocated by Oracle.

Subject: RE: Oracle position on hints
This is facinating, where does this come from? This is the second time in a
week that I've heard this statement being made by someone. Hints will never
go away IMHO, and Oracle continues to add more and more of them. I was told
by someone at a client site that they were told by an Oracle instructor that
they should not use hints in 9i....

Hi,
Does Oracle have an official position on hints ?
Will they go away as the optimiser is becoming bettre or they are there
to stay ?
TIA
