Escape character while using hints in a SQL query

[#1]

I am trying to use hints in my select query in the load script.

This query is being issued to an oracle database and while using the /* hint */ after the select, Qlikview evaluates that phrase as a comment and hence is not issued to the database.

Is there an escape character that I can use? Or any other work around to this? So that I can include the hint as part of my query that is issued to the database?

Thanks.
