Operation Table

The table is a tree structure of the operations required to perform the SQL query.

Notes:

  • Select Expand to expand all steps in the table.
  • Select Show Explanations to show an explanatory tool tip when the mouse hovers over an item in the table.
  • Show column and index data for the database object in the step highlighted in the Operation table.
Column Description

Operation

The action on the dataset.

Step

The sequence of the actions.

The following tables describe some of the common execution steps that you may encounter:

Object

The object name.

Cost

The cost of this operation. The values in RED in this column represent the most expensive steps—the critical path—in each level of the explain plan. (When multiple steps in the same level are on the critical path, only the first step will be shown in red.)

Rows

The number of processed rows for this operation.

Bytes

The number of bytes processed for this operation.

Other

This shows the operation on the object as being either serial or parallel.
