About Execution Plans

The execution plan displays the steps a database takes to execute a SQL statement. You can use the execution plan to determine if a statement is efficient.

In the step formats (like Tree Plan) each step indicates how SQL Optimizer retrieves rows of data. The steps are numbered in the order of execution to make the plan easier to read.

Oracle executes each child operation before the parent operation. For some SQL statements, Oracle executes the parent operation once it retrieves a single row from the child operation. Other SQL statements require that Oracle retrieve all rows from the child operation before it executes the parent operation.

Reviewing Execution Plans

Use the Execution Plan window to review the execution plan for the original SQL statement or selected alternative. Several display options and configurations are available.

You can select an execution plan format, configure plan content, and customize plan text.

To select a plan format

  1. Right-click the execution plan and select View Plan | option.
  2. Select one of the following formats:
    • Tree Plan—Displays plan as tree view with numbered steps.
    • DBMS_XPlan (Formatted)—Displays plan using the DBMS_XPLAN output with added formatting.
    • DBMS_XPlan (Plain Text)—Displays plan using the DBMS_XPlan output as plain text. This is the format returned by Oracle.
    • Graphic Plan—Displays a graphic view of the plan. Includes numbered steps.
    • MS Graphic Plan—Displays a graphic type view. Includes numbered steps.
    • Plain Language Plan—Lists steps using descriptions in plain language.
  3. Go to Review Execution Plans to learn more about the different plan formats and how to customize them.

Execution Plan Window - Optimize SQL

The Execution Plan window displays the available execution plans. Each tab contains a different type of execution plan.

  • Default Plan—The Default Plan tab displays the execution plan chosen by Oracle and is retrieved using the EXPLAIN PLAN statement. Click to retrieve the default plan after entering/importing the original SQL.

  • Actual Plan—The Actual Plan is retrieved from the plan cache after execution and is the actual execution plan performed by the database to execute the statement.

  • Virtual Plan—The Virtual Plan tab is displayed for indexes when you generate index alternatives in an Optimize SQL, SQL Rewrite session. See Fill Missing Execution Plans for more information about retrieving other execution plans for index alternatives.

Execution Plan Actions
