v$sql_hint.target_level

Today I wanted to give a link to the description of v$sql_hint.target_level to show that no_parallel can be specified for statement or object, and though it’s pretty obvious, but surprisingly I haven’t found any articles or posts about it, so this short post describes it.
v$sql_hint.target_level is a bitset, where
1st bit set to 1 means that the hint can be specified on statement level,
2nd – on query block level,
3rd – on object level,
4th – on join level(for multiple objects).
Short example:

   select name,sql_feature
          ,class,inverse
          ,version,version_outline
          ,target_level
         ,decode(bitand(target_level,1),0,'no','yes') Statement_level
         ,decode(bitand(target_level,2),0,'no','yes') Query_block_level
         ,decode(bitand(target_level,4),0,'no','yes') Object_level
         ,decode(bitand(target_level,8),0,'no','yes') Join_level
   from v$sql_hint h;

with hints as (
   select name,sql_feature
          ,class,inverse
          ,version,version_outline
          ,target_level
         ,decode(bitand(target_level,1),0,'no','yes') Statement_level
         ,decode(bitand(target_level,2),0,'no','yes') Query_block_level
         ,decode(bitand(target_level,4),0,'no','yes') Object_level
         ,decode(bitand(target_level,8),0,'no','yes') Join_level
   from v$sql_hint h
)
select *
from hints
where statement_level='yes'
  and to_number(regexp_substr(version,'^\d+')) >= 18
order by version;

Result:

NAME              SQL_FEATURE     CLASS                VERSION  TARGET_LEVEL STATEMENT_LEVEL QUERY_BLOCK_LEVEL OBJECT_LEVEL JOIN_LEVEL
