    A SQL like this

    select T1.column1 , ....
    from T1
    where T1.a not in
    (select T2.b from T2 where ....)


    The explain shows a full table scan on T2 . And I want to
    use a hint to force a index range scan on T2 . How to write ?

    Thanks for your time

    All you need to do is creating an index on t2.b and modify the where class to include t2.b = t1.a. This will ensure the usage of index on table T2.

    In fact , it's not possible to convert "not in " to a "=" cause.
    Anyway , I have successfully make these query using index on T2 . But what I want to know is just the syntax of
    writing a hint in the nest select statement

    what about:

    select /*+INDEX(T2 T2_IDX) */
    T1.column1 , ....
    from
    where T1.a not in
    (select T2.b from T2 where ....)

    Well, if you realy have an index on T2.b, then much more efficient way for your query would be:

    select T1.column1 , ....
    from T1
    WHERE NOT EXISTS
    (SELECT null FROM T2 WHERE T2.b=T1.a);
