   Hello.  I'm looking for some resources on using the CBO properly.... it   
   seems that this company is inclining to going to RBO, just because the CBO   
   sucks... (so they say).  I would be more interested in parameters that will   
   speed up DML statements, and trying to get away from using dbms_stats. (if   
   possible).   
      
   Thanks.
