View the code sequence: Which three statements are true about the execution of this query?

The correct answer is A. The optimizer uses an index join as an access path. C. The optimizer uses a bitmap access path for the EMPLOYEES table. F. The optimizer performs bitmap conversion from the row IDs of the combined maps. C: The INDEX_COMBINE hint explicitly chooses a bitmap access path for the table. F: If you specify indexspec, then the optimizer tries to use some Boolean combination of the specified indexes. Each parameter serves the same purpose as in "INDEX Hint". For example: SELECT /+…

Explanation

C: The INDEX_COMBINE hint explicitly chooses a bitmap access path for the table. F: If you specify indexspec, then the optimizer tries to use some Boolean combination of the specified indexes. Each parameter serves the same purpose as in "INDEX Hint". For example: SELECT /*+ INDEX_COMBINE(e emp_manager_ix emp_department_ix) */ * FROM employees e WHERE manager_id = 108 OR department_id = 110;
