The answer is found in the Jonathan Lewis book "Building Efficient Databases".
You should set OPTIMIZER_INDEX_COST_ADJ and OPTIMIZER_INDEX_CACHING. Explanation:
It is realistic to expect a part of an index to be cached and it is also realistic to expect the index access to be somewhat cheaper then the table
access. These two parameters give the same slant toward the index access path and nested loops path as RBO. For the rest, buy Jonathan's book.

Hi,
We have two DBs, a production and a development, identical query was running
very quickly on the Development and very slowly on the Production. Both have
the similar structures, same number of indexes and everything. When I
checked the explain plan, I found out that on the Production DB, it was
doing a FTS on a couple of tables and was doing an Index scan on the
Development server. The only difference was that the tables on the
Production were ANALYZED.
To confirm my theory, I analyzed the tables on Development and it started
doing a FTS there as well hence slowing the query down. I know the
optimizer, after analyzing, would have chosen the better path in its own
sense but its not producing the desired result and it is taking ages now.
is there any way to undo that?
