sql - USE MERGE Hint Oracle ignored -


i want join 1 table using sort-merge join algorithm (for test purposes). so, i'm using use_merge hint, when add hint in query, execution plan shows hash_join.

this query, hint.

select /*+ use_merge(remote locale)*/ distinct remote.nom  (    select cnf.nom, dt.idb    schema.supermarket@linkbd cnf inner join     schema.detail@linkbd dt on dt.idc = cnf.idc inner join     schema.commerce@linkbd bt1 on dt.idb = bt1.idb    cnf.type = 'option1' ) remote, (    select substr(ag.cp, 0, 2) code, bt2.numb    schema.h_commerce bt2 inner join     schema.h_vente vn on vn.numb = bt2.numb inner join     schema.h_agency ag on ag.codeag = vn.codeag  ) locale, (     select pl.code     schema.places@linkbd2 pl     pl.zone = 'paris' ) placedpt  remote.idb = locale.numb , placedpt.code = locale.code; 

the query works don't know why hint ignored. thanks!

the execution plan this:
