Does anybody know if and how I can force Oracle to do hash outer join to an inline view? I know that every row in the both tables contained in the view will be hit, so theoretically it should be faster to do a full table scan with hash join. But I can't seem to get Oracle to do it so I can test it. I have tried the USE_HASH hint as shown below. I have tried a FULL hint on the tables in view (as currently commented out so not reflected in the explain plan). Does Oracle know something I don't that it won't let me do this?

SELECT /*+ORDERED FULL(a) PARALLEL(a) FULL(b) PARALLEL(b)USE_HASH(a fim)*/
       a.record_seq_num,
       a.cusip,
       a.primary_exchange,
       a.underly_sec_cusip,
       a.frst_call_strk_pr,
       upper(a.primary_symbol) symbol,
       fb_proc.get_date(b.record_dt) record_dt,
       'USD' ntv_country_cd,
       b.s_p_rating,
       b.moody_rating
FROM   (SELECT a_in.*,
               rank() over(PARTITION BY a_in.cusip ORDER BY a_in.record_seq_num DESC) rnk
        FROM   fb_prs_desc_a a_in) a
LEFT   JOIN fb_prs_desc_b b ON b.record_seq_num = a.record_seq_num
                        AND    b.cusip = a.cusip
LEFT   JOIN (SELECT --/*+ FULL(fim_in) FULL(fo)*/
                    fim_in.*,
                    fo.expiration_dt,
                    fo.instr_master_id fo_instr_master_id
             FROM   fi_instr_master fim_in
             LEFT   JOIN fi_option fo ON fim_in.instr_master_id = fo.instr_master_id
             WHERE  rownum > 0
             AND    fim_in.data_prov_id IN (11, 23)
             AND    fim_in.definer_id IS NULL) fim ON  fim.cusip = a.cusip
                                                   AND (fim.fo_instr_master_id IS NULL
                                                        OR fim.instr_type_cd = 'RIGHTS' 
                                                        OR fim.is_actv = 1)

SELECT STATEMENT, GOAL = CHOOSE  
 NESTED LOOPS OUTER  
  HASH JOIN OUTER  
   VIEW Object owner=SMACKEY2 
    TABLE ACCESS FULL Object owner=SMACKEY2 Object name=FB_PRS_DESC_A
   TABLE ACCESS FULL Object owner=SMACKEY2 Object name=FB_PRS_DESC_B
  VIEW Object owner=SYS 
   VIEW Object owner=SMACKEY2 
    COUNT  
     FILTER  
      NESTED LOOPS OUTER  
       TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID Object owner=SMACKEY2 Object name=FI_INSTR_MASTER

You mean a hash join instead of nested loops? Typically that is determined by having enough PGA RAM / TEMP space to handle the hash efficiently. hash_area_size, or pga_agg_target.

Also the optimizer parameters play a big role. mode of all rows is more likely to do hash than first rows (choose is being vague, I prefer doing one or the other, and 10g prefers also).

And various optimizer parameters can affect FTS and index access costs to influence the cbo one way or another.

smartin,

Thanks much. Yes, I mean hash join instead of nested loop. I am not sure how our various instances are configured but you definitely have provided several avenues for me to explore. It's exactly the info I was looking for. Thanks again.
