Subject: how to get oracle to ignore an index
I have a query that uses bind variables, so it cannot use histograms. Its
choosing the wrong index. I have been dropping the index, getting it to
choose the correct index and using a stored outline.
anyway to go: oracle ignore this index.
I tried disabled, but that just returns an error, plus I have to rebuild it.
I'd prefer to avoid building the index again.
