However, since this system wasn't directly compatible with Oracle Hints,
folks pushing for hints dropped the solution as unsatisfactory. This is
the discussion we have every time: the users who want hints specifically
want hints which work exactly like Oracle's, and aren't interested in a
system designed for PostgreSQL. It's gotten very boring; it's like the
requests to support MySQL-only syntax.
Actually, I don't want Oracle hints. Oracle hints are ugly and
cumbersome. I would prefer something like this:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/index-hints.html
That should also answer the question about other databases supporting hints.
