Information about CBO

Zone: Oracle 9.x

Tags: oracle, Standard edition rdbms, 9.2.0.5

I have a select query which currently has the RULE hint. It runs fast. I am trying to move to the CBO and
I have run dbms_stats on the tables in this query.
With the RULE hint, the optimiser uses indexes. Without the RULE hint ( and so presumably using the statistics) it is doing 2 full table scans.
Anyone any ideas? Or a stategy of where to go now?
I'll' try attaching the code and also the two explain plans.
