Force an SQL to NOT use an INDEX HINT
We have a query that uses index hint but the cost is high and performance is poor compared to without the index.
This query cannot be modified since it's in a java code in which we don't have the source file anymore.
Can this be fixed by using SQL patch? If not, what are our other option to force the query to NOT use the index hint (without removing the hint from the source code).
Thanks.
