How to control between Merged, Nested and Index Nested Loop in Execution Plan
I am interested to know basic preferences which will decide which join is cheaper. I can force join types by typing merge, loop, hash into the join statement but I would like to know if there is a way to fix indexes, datatypes in order to provide conditions for particular cheapest join.
Let's say query plan returns Nested Loop as a cheapest join with current conditions. Is there a way to do something with whatever in order to make Sort Merge Join cheapest. I know for example that if I delete indexes it will use hash join so my question actually is what to change in order to control between Merged, Nested and Index Nested loop?

Why bother? Trust the optimizer. (A consistent database design makes things better!)

Optimizer works with current conditions but it does not mean that it is the best.

If you don't like what the optimizer does, use hints.
