There is no "optimizer vs. hint". Hints are a necessary part of the
optimizer in all other databases. Without hints Postgres will not get
used in the company that I work for, period. I was willing to wait but
the fatwa against hints seems unyielding, so that's it. I am even
inclined to believe that deep down under the hood, this fatwa has an
ulterior motive, which disgusts me deeply. With hints, there would be
far fewer consulting gigs.
