Ok, but the problem is that my very long query performes quite well when
it works with merge join but it cannot arrive to an end if it use other
kind of joining.
If i put all the parameter to on, as both of you tell me, in the
explanation I'll see that the db use nasted loop.
If i put to off nasted loop, it will use hash join.
How can I write the query so that the analyzer will use mergejoin (that
is the only option that permit the query to give me the waited answare)
without changing the settings every time on the connection?
