hi.

im using the sql procedure to retrieve data from an oracle server, and im trying to use Hints .

The problem is that the proc sql is inside a macro. When i run the SQL procedure not as part of the  macro statement it works just fine ,

but when it is inside the macro it looks like the Oracle query optimizer is ignoring the Hints.

Is there a problem to use  preserve_comments inside a macro ? or am i doing anything wrong?

thanks

You didn't show your macro, so I'll just take a guess.  In your macro, did you specify preserve_comments as an argument in your connect statement?

The problem was with the Oracle Hint.
