Copy Execution Plans
You can copy an execution plan from the Execution Plan pane and paste it into another file as text or a bitmap image.
To copy an execution plan
- In an Execution Plan pane, right-click the execution plan and select Copy.
- You can then paste the plan using another application such as Microsoft Word or Notepad.
- Tree Plan, DBMS_XPLAN, and Plain Language Plan views can be pasted as text or in bitmap format. Applications such as Microsoft Word allow you to choose the format using the Paste Special option.
- You can use text applications such as Notepad to paste execution plans in text format.
- You can use graphic applications such as Microsoft Paint to paste execution plans in bitmap format.
Batch Optimize SQL
About Batch Optimization
Use Batch Optimize SQL to automatically identify and optimize problematic SQL statements in your database environment. Before starting the batch optimization process, you must create a batch of jobs. Jobs consist of text with one or more SQL statements and may include database objects, application source code, or files created using Scan SQL or Inspect SGA.
Once you create a batch, Batch Optimize SQL extracts SQL statements from the jobs and identifies problematic statements. Next, Batch Optimize SQL rewrites the problematic statements and applies Oracle optimization hints to generate faster running alternatives. Finally, Batch Optimize SQL tests the alternatives generated to provide you with the best alternative. After reviewing the details for the best alternative, you can generate an optimized script for the original source code.
Notes:
-
You can test run SQL alternatives using a different schema or database connection than the one used for scanning and optimizing your SQL statements.
- If you add a SQL statement with bind variables to a job, you must define the variables before beginning the batch optimization process. See Set Bind Variables (Batch Optimize) for more information.
