Use of explain Plan

Hi
I am using explain plan for query.How can i optimize query to see result of explain plan.
Thanx

Collect statistics, use hints, create indexes... many ways. You try using of outlines, but it is not common practice. Usually you haven't to influence the plan directly

Question regarding using of Explain Plan

Hi. I'm new with Oracle Queries so I have a little obstacles about understanding. I want to learn how to use Explain Plan feature from Oracle
I am using Oracle 9i as back end .
Please tell me how can i use feature of Explain Plan Feature for the below query.
SELECT * FROM emp WHERE empno = 7369
Thanks in advance.

Kiran,
Firstly , before anything else, I would suggest to change your handle to anything else and remove the email id from it. Its not good to have the id displayed in any public forum.
About the question, unfortunately, its not that easy to answer. To understand explain plan and how to use it, you need to understand that algorithm/mechanism, whatever you feel like saying, that generates it. Because, explain plan is just the outcome of that mechanism, a final product, its the result of some inputs given by you in the form of your query, predicates, joins and their types and that all bring up the explain plan. Explain plan is basically the constitution of some steps which are used /fixed by optimizer to run the query. I would suggest that you read this page from cover to cover to understand some of the steps and their meanings which are shown to you in the plan. I am giving 10g link as this is a more better version of optimizer than the previous ones and I would suggest you to do experiments on 10g only.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14211/optimops.htm#i21299
And I would suggest that you collect these following books and start reading them. I haven't yet found any thing better than these books.

It would be real long journey before the mazes of optimizer and explain would be clear so make sure you have patience as well.

Why bother to use explain plan?

All my colleagues used the third party applications, Crystal Report or TAOD, to query data from the 10g R2 database for some kind of reporting. The problem is they always created the query with multiple outer join (> 10 tables) and they WRITE the codes without using the explain plan. They simply used the query for result of the moment and the query they wrote only were used for few time (< 3), because the manager requested the report kept changing the requirement. They did it on both Dev and Prod
I think it is bad practice, how can I convience them to change their practice?

The concept that something is ad hoc and therefore doesn't matter can break down pretty quickly when a bright light is shined upon it. But what you are fighting here is more a question of politics than technology.
If the system is still chugging along at an acceptable speed, no end-user complaints, and practices in your organization range from sloppy to lazy you should probably just polish up your resume and move to a job where people care about professional standards and doing a good job.
To change a practice such as this usually one must get to the level of childish schoolyard play and create a competitive atmosphere. Take one of those slow queries and tune it. Challenge someone to do better than you did. Offer a beer to anyone that can write it more efficiently than you did, etc. Make it a game.
But don't be surprised if the reason they aren't running explain plan is that:
1. They don't know how
2. They know how but don't know how to read the output
3. They know how to read the output but haven't a clue what to do about it.
As an example ... I know a lot of people that think they know how to output an explain plan. In truth not 10% of them understand this:
SELECT * FROM TABLE(dbms_xplan.display_cursor('cpm9ss48qd32f', 0));
http://www.psoug.org/reference/dbms_xplan.html
Which is really rather sad.

"Explain Plan" in Oracle SQL Developer is greyed out

Hi all,
I know this is not the right place to post this, but I have look around and do not know where to post question about Oracle SQL Developer - I presume this tool is also discussed here in this forum.
My question is very simple (I presume):
1. I installed Oracle SQL Developer 3.0.04.
2. I added a new DB connection to a DB hosted in one of my servers in the LAN.
3. However, when I am writing some SQL queries, I intend to use the "Explain Plan" feature, but it is being greyed out (disabled).
4. How can I enable it back?

Explain plan: "Select statement"

Hi,
I'm using the explain plan command to retrieve information about query execution. In particular I want to estimate query execution time.
Let's consider the following example:
"| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |"
"| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 4775 | 484K| 98886 (1)| 00:19:47 |"
"| 1 | HASH GROUP BY | | 4775 | 484K| 98886 (1)| 00:19:47 |"
"|* 2 | MAT_VIEW ACCESS FULL| Materialized_view1 | 4775 | 484K| 98884 (1)| 00:19:47 |"
In the calculation of total execution time should i consider the "select statement" operation?
The total execution time can be calculated like this: Time(Select statement) + Time(hash group by) + Time(access full)=19.47*3=58.41. Is it right?
Thanks

No, the expected time is 00:19:47. No time is expected to be spent in steps 0 and 1.

Explain plan changing for the same sql

Hi All,
In a E Business suite application, we have the 10.2.0.4 Database.
One of the program is running a select stmt which is using different explain plan one in a month which is causing issue in the program running for longer time.
Ex : When it uses the index A, it is running fine. When it uses the index B, it is running for longer time.
Can you please advice on the possible reasons for the same sql to choose index B instead of index A some times.
Thanks,
Rakesh

It could be that the SQL is question got aged out of the shared pool and when it came to be reparsed - the values in the bind variables were such that access via index b was more attractive than access via index a.
Could you please send the query and the good and bad plans and all other information that might help diagnose the problem..
Note: we had a similiar case where plans suddenly changed for no apperant reason (on 10.2.0.2) - we found that under certain circumstances the optimizer would not peek into the bind varaibles to derive the execution path.

Explain Plan is disabled - why?

Hi
I was using SqlDeveloper 1.0 and had no problems using the Explain Plan feature. Now I upgraded to 1.1 (did not migrate settings) and now the explain plan button is always greyed out. Am I missing something to enable the explain plan feature?
Thanks

Are all the buttons grayed out on the worksheet or just the explain plan button? If you look at your worksheet, is the drop list on the right hand side populated? i.e does it display your user connection? If not, select your connection in the drop kist and the icons will change from gray to available.
You say in your message that you upgraded to 1.1. I assume you did a fresh install in a new directory.

Explain plan - lower cost but higher response time in 11g compared to 10g

Hello,
I have a strange scenario where 'm migrating a db from standalone Sun FS running 10g RDBMS to a 2-Node Sun/ASM 11g RAC env. The issue is with response time of queries -
In 11g Env:
SQL> select last_analyzed, num_rows from dba_tables where owner='MARKETHEALTH' and table_name='NCP_DETAIL_TAB';
LAST_ANALYZED NUM_ROWS
11-08-2012 18:21:12 3413956
Elapsed: 00:00:00.30
In 10g Env:
SQL> select last_analyzed, num_rows from dba_tables where owner='MARKETHEALTH' and table_name='NCP_DETAIL_TAB';
LAST_ANAL NUM_ROWS
07-NOV-12 3502160
Elapsed: 00:00:00.04If you look @ the response times, even a simple query on the dba_tables takes ~8 times. Any ideas what might be causing this? I have compared the XPlans and they are exactly the same, moreover, the cost is less in the 11g env compared to the 10g env, but still the response time is higher.
BTW - 'm running the queries directly on the server, so no network latency in play here.
Thanks in advance

Explain plan privileges

Hi,
in order to use the explain plan feature inside the worksheet (sqldev 2.1, 15 Dec 09), sqldev requires the SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE and the SELECT ANY DICTIONARY privileges.
Why?
1. Even with only the classic CONNECT and RESOURCE roles granted, I can execute "explain plan for ..." and "select * from table(dbms_xplan.display);" and get the xplan.
2. Don't you see the problems in persuading those hard core DBAs, that developers need xplan - and yes, they can read them???

1. seems one of those bugs... there are more areas that need such privileges. DEV?
2. was requested at the Exchange, but sadly rejected. You can request it again, but seen the scarce support on votes, it would just be rejected again.

K.

Query tunning in Oracle using Explain Plan

Adding to my below question: I have now modified the query and the path shownby 'Explain plan' has reduced. The 'Time' column of plan_table is also showing much lesser value. However, some people are suggesting me to consider the time required by the query to execute on Toad. Will it be practical? Please help!!
Hi, I am using Oracle 11g. I need to optimize a Select query(Need to minimize the execution time). I need to know how 'Explain Plan' would help me. I know how to use Explain Plan command. I refer Plan_table table to see the details of the plan. Please guide me regarding which columns of the Plan_table should be considered while modifying the query for optimization. Some people say, 'Time' column should be considered, some say 'Bytes' etc. Some suggest on minimizing the full table scans, while some people say that I should minimize the total no. operations (less no. of rows should be displayed in Plan_table). As per an experienced friend of mine, full table scans should be reduced (for e.g. if there are 5 full table scans in the plan, then try to reduce them to less than 5. ). However, if I consider any full table scan operation in the plan_table, its shows value of 'time' column as only 1 which is very very less. Does this mean the full scan is actually taking very less time?? If yes, then this means full table scans are very fast in my case and no need to work on them. Some articles suggest that plan shown by 'Explain Plan' command is not necessarily followed while executing the query. So what should I look for then? How should I optimize the query and how will I come to know that it's optimized?? Please help!!...

Explain plan result for a long-running query used in data-warehousing. Tuni

I have executed an explain plan for a query that is used in a data-warehousing application.
This sql is taking too long to execute as it is visiting 24 partitions.
Where each partition contains data for 1 month month, so it fetches last 2 year data.
And each partition has a million or so rows.
All this is kept in table prescrip_retail. So this table has 24 partitions.
abc@def>explain plan set statement_id='dwh_query'
2 for
3 SELECT r.pier_account_id,
4 p.presc_num,
5 spm.product_id,
6 p.month,

9 FROM rlup_assigned_account r,
10 temp_presc_num_TEST t,
11 retail.prescrip_retail p,
12 sherlock.sherlock_product_mapping spm
13 WHERE spm.product_id like '056%'
14 and t.CLIENT_ID='934759'
15 and p.month >= add_months(sysdate,-24)
16 and spm.mds6 = p.product_id
17 and t.CLIENT_ID = p.presc_num
18 and r.ndc_pyr_id = p.payer_plan
19 and t.best_call_state = r.ST
20 GROUP BY r.pier_account_id,

Here is the create statement for PRESCRIP_RETAIL table:
I have observed 2 things:
1. In the query the following joins are present.
13 WHERE spm.product_id like '056%'
14 and t.CLIENT_ID='934759'
15 and p.month >= add_months(sysdate,-24)
16 and spm.mds6 = p.product_id
17 and t.CLIENT_ID = p.presc_num
18 and r.ndc_pyr_id = p.payer_plan
19 and t.best_call_state = r.ST
Index exist for p.product_id,p.presc_num,p.payer_plan as you can see below.
However, the index does not exist for month.
I am also doing search for month.
I feel if I create a "partitioned index" on month, query performance should improve.
Q Can you provide me the syntax for creating a partitioned index on month?
2.The following tables are used in the query:
9 FROM rlup_assigned_account r,
10 temp_presc_num_TEST t,
11 retail.prescrip_retail p,
12 sherlock.sherlock_product_mapping spm
In these tables, apart from sherlock.sherlock_product_mapping table the statistics that exist is old.
I need to analyse on table level as well as column level.
For example:
Table prescrip_retail is analyzed in 2002,
table temp_presc_num_TEST is not analysed at all.
table rlup_assigned_account is analysed in Feb 2007.
sherlock_product_mapping is the only table that has updated statistics, analysed on Oct. 2007
Here is the table creation statement of PRESCRIP_RETAIL and index on it.

Explain Plan changed using "IN"

Hi ,
I am using one of the query as below
select a.x, b.y, c.z from a,b,c
where
a.x in ( select x from temp where col=b.y)
i checked explain plan this query is going to access full table x
i have index on x for temp table.
i need to check b.y in subquery as parameter and that subquery result i have to use as first main query's where criteria.
using function i can get only one record at time.
if anyone have any idea how to solve.
TIA

when i use = instead of "IN" below is the explain plan from TOAD

Oracle not using its own explain plan

When I run a simple select query on an indexed column on a large (30 million records) table oracle creates a plan using the indexed column and at a cost of 4. However, what it actually does is do a table scan (I can see this in the 'Long Operations' tab in OEM).
The funny thing is that I have the same query in a ADO application and when the query is run from there, the same plan is created but no table scan is done - and the query returns in less than a second. However, with the table scan it is over a minute.
When run through SQL plus Oracle creates a plan including the table scan at a cost of 19030.
In another (dot net) application I used the: "Alter session set optimizer_index_caching=100" and "Alter session set optimizer_index_cost_adj=10" to try to force the optimizer to use the index. It creates the expected plan, but still does the table scan.
The query is in the form of:
"Select * from tab where indexedcol = something"
Im using Oracle 9i 9.2.0.1.0
Any ideas as I'm completely at a loss?

Hello
It sounds to me like this has something to do with bind variable peeking which was introduced in 9i. If the predicate is
indexedcolumn = :bind_variablethe first time the query is parsed by oracle, it will "peek" at the value in the bind variable and see what it is and will generate an execution plan based on this. That same plan will be used for matching SQL.
If you use a litteral, it will generate the plan based on that, and will generate a separate plan for each litteral you use (depending on the value of the cursor_sharing initialisation parameter).
This can cause there to be a difference between the execution plan seen when issuing EXPLAIN PLAN FOR, and the actual exectuion plan used when the query is run.
Have a look at the following example:

Now when we actually run the query, the optimiser can take advantage of bind variable peeking and have a look at the value the first time round and base the execution plan on that:

[8i] Can someone help me on using explain plan, tkprof, etc.?

I am trying to follow the instructions at When your query takes too long ...
I am trying to figure out why a simple query takes so long.
The query is:
SELECT COUNT(*) AS tot_rows FROM my_table;It takes a good 5 minutes or so to run (best case), and the result is around 22 million (total rows).
My generic username does not (evidently) allow access to PLAN_TABLE, so I had to log on as SYSTEM to run explain plan. In SQL*Plus, I typed in:
explain plan for (SELECT COUNT(*) AS tot_rows FROM my_table);and the response was "Explained."
Isn't this supposed to give me some sort of output, or am I missing something?
Then, the next step in the post I linked is to use tkprof. I see that it says it will output a file to a path specified in a parameter. The only problem is, I don't have access to the db's server. I am working remotely, and do not have any way to remotely (or directly) access the db server. Is there any way to have the file output to my local machine, or am I just S.O.L.?

SomeoneElse used "create table as" (CTAS), wich automatically gathers the stats. You can see the differende before and after stats clearly in this example.
This is the script:
drop table ttemp;
create table ttemp (object_id number not null, owner varchar2(30), object_name varchar2(200));
alter table ttemp add constraint ttemp_pk primary key (object_id);
insert into ttemp
select object_id, owner, object_name
from dba_objects
where object_id is not null;
set autotrace on
select count(*) from ttemp;
exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats('PROD','TTEMP');
select count(*) from ttemp;And the result:
Table dropped.
Table created.
Table altered.
46888 rows created.

Using explain plan

Hi,
I am quite new to use explain plan in oracle.
I want to know what are the important factors that we should emphasize to optimize a SQL query.
Thanks in Advance,
Dilip

If I had to identify key SQL tuning factors to look for in relation to an explain plan I would say that number one is to verify that the plan is driving on the right tables in the proper order.
Second looking at the SQL make sure it is not written in such a manner as to disable the use of available indexes such as when a trunc is done on an indexed date column so it can be compared equal to another date when a >= date value of midnight and < midnight of first day not desired could be used instead enabling use of the index on the date column by the optimizer. Implicit conversions of join column data types can also disable use of an index.
Third, if the CBO is doing something other than what you expected do not just assume it is wrong. Try to figure out why it is doing what it is doing and then try to determine if it is right or wrong. I have caught people trying to tune SQL because they knew the plan was wrong, but did not actually test it before spending a lot of time to develop a different path that ran slower than the optimzer plan.
