-- you can query patch info from DBA_SQL_PATCHES
-- the actual hints can be seen using: 
--   select comp_data from sqlobj$data;
-- 
-- a sql patch can be dropped with:
-- dbms_sqldiag.drop_sql_patch('&patch_name');
--
-- Note that it's best to use manual hinting first and if the hint works, extract it in its full 
-- format from the OUTLINE section of the plan. for example, I had to use this format:
--
--     FULL(@"SEL$1" "T"@"SEL$1")
-- 
-- ... instead of just FULL(t) to make the patch work (12.1)
--
-- The DBMS_SQLDIAG_INTERNAL.I_CREATE_PATCH actually requires the SQL Text (as a CLOB) instead of just
-- the SQL_ID, in 12.1 and earlier this script fetches the SQL Text from v$sql (the cursor needs 
-- to be in library cache). Similarly the DBMS_SQLDIAG.CREATE_PATCH(sql_id=>...) needs the cursor to be
-- in library cache in order to find the corresponding SQL text.
