RE: Using miss-spelled hint changes explain plan ...

[Wolfgang Breitling]

Maybe not so much an undocumented feature than documentation that is open 
to interpretation. It is documented that the optimizer will ignore 
malformed hints. It is just not made clear that everything after that 
malformed hint up to the end of the comment is ignored as well.

BTW, you mis-spelled "miss-spelled"  :-)

BINGO !!

Thanks Wolfgang .... if I put the misspelled hint at the end, it is 
ignored ... all plans look the same then.
Another (probably) undocumented feature.
