hint OPAQUE_TRANSFORM产生的原因

    在AWR报告中经常看到一个hint /*+ OPAQUE_TRANSFORM */,感到莫名其妙。原因是什么引起的呢？如果在数据库B的AWR中看到这种hint,原因是其他数据库通过DB link访问数据库B，且用的是insert into table_name select * from table_name@dblink_name的方式访问。

SQL> explain plan for insert into test select * from REMOTE_SMALL_TAB@DBLINK_TEST;

已解释。

SQL> select * from table(dbms_xplan.display);
