BUT... a lot of the SQL still has rule hints in it for Apps... even though it is touted to be using the CBO extensively...

Subject: RE: WHERE 1 = 1 (any info on this)
OK, here's the interesting thing. At 8.1.6.3 with optimizer_mode=rule the
statement I'm looking at returns very different explain plans depending on
whether the "1=1" clause is included. It's a complicated join and the
explain plans are over 300 lines so it's not easy to see what's happening.
I'll try with a simpler join.
And yes, I know the RBO is ancient technology these days. =)
Cheers,
Mike

I'm pretty sure the optimizer can pick up 1=1 anyway
and ignore it as an always-true condition - so you get
no benefit.
The most common cause I've seen for 1=1 is so when
developers are building dynamic where-clause, they
don't need to worry about adding 'where' versus 'and'
to the sql string being constructed.
