About Managing Plans

You can use Manage Plans to manage the stored outlines and plan baselines deployed from Optimize SQL.

Stored Outlines

Stored outlines are a set of Oracle optimization hints that help maintain the execution plan for a SQL statement. Using SQL Rewrite mode in Optimize SQL, you can create and deploy stored outlines for SQL statements to minimize performance degradation during database changes.

The Outline Management feature of Manage Plans helps you organize and manage stored outlines deployed from SQL Rewrite mode. You can also manage the categories created for saved outlines.

Caution: Oracle only uses stored outlines if the SQL text saved with the outline is identical to the SQL statement in the source code.

SQL Plan Baselines

You can use the SQL Plan Management feature introduced in Oracle 11g to tune execution plans without changing the original source code. Plan control mode in Optimize SQL creates plan baselines and deploys them to Manage Plans.

The Baseline Management feature in Manage Plans helps you organize and manage plan baselines deployed from Optimize SQL. You can enable, disable, fix, or delete plan baselines for each SQL statement and search for plan baselines by SQL text.

Note: You can only create a Baseline Management session when connected to an Oracle 11g or later database.

To manage a baseline

  1. Select Manage Plans.

    Note: You need to create a new Manage Plans session before managing your stored outlines. See Create Manage Plans Sessions for more information.

  2. Select the Baselines Management tab.

    Note: You can only access the Baselines Management tab when connected to an Oracle 11g or later database.

  3. Select a baseline plan in the Baselines pane.

    Tip: Click if you do not see a baseline plan that you deployed from Optimize SQL.

    Note: After plans are imported from SQL Optimizer, Oracle automatically renames the baseline plans using system-generated names.

  4. Select the checkbox in the Enabled column to enable the baseline.
