Explanation

RESULT_CACHE_MODE=FORCE forces all query results to be cached if possible, ignoring the /*+ no_result_cache */ hint. The FORCE setting means caching happens regardless of explicit hints. Results are cached when they fit in available cache space, but hints that disable caching are overridden.
