Usage
Displays execution plan stored in three different places

1) PLAN_TABLE
dbms_xplan.diplay (estimated plan)

2) SGA of instance
dbms_xplan.display_cursor (real plan from memory)

3) AWR
dbms_xplan.display_awr (real,history plan from AWR)

7
Comparison
Sl Tkprof Dbms_xplan
1 Trace must be enabled. Basic statistics are available in
memory and AWR
2 CBO notes are not visible Note section is very useful
3 No predicate Predicates printed from memory.
4 Bind values can be retrieved with
ease
5 Plan history can be retrieved
easily.

Dos & Donts
Dos
1. Current execution plan and runtime statistics are the first
step.
2. Execute a test case first to reproduce.

Dont
1. Try to use same bind type as application uses.
- Literal vs bind variables
- number vs varchar2 data type etc
2. Try to use format same as the application for your test case.
- CTAS vs INSERT

Column Description
Always available columns
id Identified of each step in the execution plan; if prefixed with * then predicate information available in predicate section
Operation Row source operation
Name The database object in the operation
CBO parse time information
Rows Estimated number of rows returned by the row source operation; derived from statistics on names object in the operation
Bytes Estimated amount of data returned by the operation
TempSpc The estimated amount of temp space usage by the operation
Cost(%CPU) The estimated cost of the row source operation. The percentage CPU cost is given in () for individual row source operation
Time Estimated amount of time needed to execute that operation in HH:MM:SS
Partitioning
Pstart Number of first partition to be accessed
Pstop The number of last partition to be accessed
Parallel Processing
TQ Table queue used for processing
IN-OUT The relation between parallel operations

PQ Distrib The distribution used by producers to send data to consumers

Runtime Statistics
Starts The number of times operation was executed (check more nested loop joins operation)
A-Rows Actual number of rows returned
A-Time Actual amount of time spent executing the operation
I/O Statistics
Buffers Logical reads operations performed during execution of each step
Read Physical reads performed for each operation
Write Physical writes performed

Few limitations
Display_awr does not store predicates.

Of course , not all SQL statements are stored in AWR

repository (color important statements).

Display_cursor is not RAC aware. You can query the plans

only from the local instances using display_cursor.

Run time statistics are printed only after the completion of

SQL statements (Think production long running queries).
