This document contains a list of SQL query transformation hints. Each hint is listed with its name, feature class, inverse hint if applicable, target level, property, version introduced, and version deprecated. Some key hints include ALL_ROWS for full table scans, INDEX for index access, LEADING for join order, and NOPARALLEL to disable parallel execution.
