Oracle style hints in MySQL

Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition

Since more recent versions of MySQL, Oracle-style hints are now also supported. For example, this has always been possible in MySQL:

SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS field1, field2
FROM table1

create.select(field1, field2)
      .hint("SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS")
      .from(table1)
      .fetch()

But now, you can also use the Oracle syntax for hints:

SELECT /*+ MAX_EXECUTION_TIME(1000) */ field1, field2
FROM table1

create.select(field1, field2)
      .hint("/*+ MAX_EXECUTION_TIME(1000) */")
      .from(table1)
      .fetch()
