Explain plan for the packages

Hi ,
We have no.of packages to check for explain plan.
Is there any tool to which we can feed the packages and get the expalin plan result of all the queries.
Please advice
thanks
Maanasa

Hi Maanasa
Two things…
1) I’m not aware of any tool that does what you are looking for.
2) Do you use bind variables in your SQL statements. If yes, there is no way to accurately get the execution plans without executing them. In fact the query optimizer requires the bind variable values to produce an execution plan…
Hence, the advice of enabling SQL trace (either through the SQL_TRACE parameter or the DBMS_MONITOR package) is the best one.

Unable to Execute Explain Plan for the selected SQL

When working with several SQL statements in one SQL Worksheet you execute the specific statement by selecting it and pressing F9.
The same is not possible for the explain plan though.
If you select the first SQL statement and press F6, the explain plan is executed correctly. If you try the same for any other statement, all you get is 'No SQL statement entered.' on the status bar.
Maciej

It is available.
Type this in.
create table xx (yy number(10));
create table zz (aa number(10));
select * from xx;
select * from zz;Run all these statements by pressing f5.
Place the cursor on 'select * from xx;'.
Press f6 gives you a plan.
Place the cursor on 'select * from zz;'
press f6 gives you a different plan.
The problem seems to be that F6 is still suffering from a statement selection bug which is already fixed for f9. That is selecting a whole statement results in failure to recognise a statement and the 'No statement entered' message.

How to change the explain plan for currently running query?

Hi All,
I am using Oracle enterprise 9i edition. I have a query which frames dynamically and running in the database. I noticed a table with 31147758 rows
in the query which has no indexes and taking more time to process. I tried to create an INdex on that table. I know the query is already running with a FULL table scan. Is it possible to change the explain plan for the current running query to consider the INDEX?
[code]
SELECT /*+ USE_HASH (c,e,b,a) */
d.att_fcc extrt_prod_dim_id,
d.att_fcc compr_prod_dim_id,

    WHERE c.dit_id = a.tm_id
    AND   e.rxer_id = a.rxer_id
    AND   a.glbl_uniq_id = p.glbl_uniq_id
    AND   p.daterank > 1
AND   a.pscr_pack_id = d.att_dit_id
[/code]
The table lrx_tmp_pat_daterank is having that 31147758 rows. So I am wondering how to make the query to use the newly created index on the table?

Why do you think using Indexes will improve the performance of the query? How many rows this query is returning? Optimizer might chose a Full table scan when it finds out that Index plan might not be useful. Why are you using /*+ USE_HASH (c,e,b,a) */ hint? This Hint will force oracle to use Full table scan instead of using the index. Try removing it and see if the plan changes.

How to find Explain Plan for a large querry which has multiple sub querries

Hi All,
I have a Package which has many procedures and one of the procedure has a cursor which is like 2000 lines. This cursor has a main select statement which again has many select statements in it.
Now how do I do the explain plan for the main select statement?
If it can be done easier way in toad(or SQLPLUS), please tell me...

Explain Plan for Procedure

Hi,
For getting the explain plan for a query, we use the statement
"explain plan for " + Query
Similarly, to get an explain plan for a procedure, do we have any way like
"explain plan for " + "Execute " + Procedure
How do we get an explain plan for a procedure that is executed
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Robert,
I am working on an utility application which will execute the procedure and show the explain plan to the user for him to analyze the explain plan and take necessary steps for optimization. I am showing the Procedure inputs to the user, allowing him to enter values and taking them and executing the procedure. I am setting the trace and extracting the explain plan for the procedure using TKPROF utility and showing it to the user.
While doing so, the trace file is stored in udump folder. I am accessing the trace file from TKPROF utility. I am able to run the TKPROF from the command prompt. But if I try automating the TKPROF command in a .NET application using Process.Start, it says "Not able to access the file.". I tried giving full permissions to Everyone and it still throws the error. Kindly guide me how to proceed.. A different approach that you might want to consider (as indicated by William):
- Flush the shared pool and use a unique MODULE description for each execution of your procedure (e.g. using DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_MODULE), e.g. using a logon trigger
- Query V$SQL for your unique MODULE description and run DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY_CURSOR for each corresponding child cursor found (SQL_ID + CHILD_NUMBER) in the shared pool. This plan generation could be automated using a procedure
The result of this approach corresponds to the tracing using TKPROF since it will provide the actual execution plans used at runtime rather than separate EXPLAIN PLAN results which might differ from the actual plans.
This assumes that your shared pool is sufficiently large to hold all the child cursor created by your procedure without aging them out while the procedure is running. It's probably also only applicable to an environment where not too much work is being done while running this test and the recommended flushing of the shared pool.

Quick way to look at explain plan for executing a package?

I can look at explain plans for queries without any problem. But i'm troubleshooting the performance of executing a package and i'm wondering if there is a way to look at what's happening without using EM tools? i.e. command lines.
for queries, i've used set autotrace on or explain plan for query...
but how do you do this for the execution of a package?

Thanks for the reply..i've tried sql_trace=TRUE but somehow i don't get the execution plan..i only see the number of parses, executes and fetches...
e.g. in my tkprof output, i have:
one of the select statements is here
call count cpu elapsed disk query current rows
Parse 1 0.00 0.00 0 0 0 0
Execute 1 0.00 0.00 0 0 0 0
Fetch 1 0.00 0.00 0 6 0 0
total 3 0.00 0.00 0 6 0 0
Misses in library cache during parse: 0
Optimizer mode: ALL_ROWS
Parsing user id: 58 (recursive depth: 1)
But there is no execution plan..i've never done this when executing a package...what am i missing? this works fine for query statements..but not for packages..

How to run Explain Plan for SP?

Can we run Explain Plan for SP??

EXPLAIN PLAN creates an execution plan for SQL statements. PL/SQL is not SQL.
PL/SQL procedures can contain SQL, yes. These SQLs can be copied and pasted from PL/SQL into something like TOAD and execution plan determined.
However, if the aim is to see the "execution/performance plan" for PL/SQL code, then you need to profile the PL/SQL code using the DBMS_PROFILER package. This will tell you the execution path and elapsed time to execute a line of PL/SQL.
Details can be found in the [url http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_profil.htm#sthref5502]Oracle® Database PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference guide.

Explain Plan for Materialized Views in 10g

I am verifying explain plan for few queries on 10g as compared to 9i I was wondering in Materialized Views queries MAT_VIEW ACCESS instead of TABLE ACCESS is it expected behaviour or am missing something?
Couldn't find information in 10g documentation
thanks in advance

I've put together a query for the v$sql_plan in 9iR2.
Depending on what you use, you can probably drop some columns (eg OTHER and partition columns) and you could drive it from the v$session by getting the hash_value from there for the sid you are interested in :
(select * from v$sql_plan where hash_value =
(select sql_hash_value from v$session where sid=:sid))
select level, optimizer, lpad('_',1*(level-1),'_')||operation operation,
options, object_owner||'.'||object_name obj_name, search_columns,

ltrim(to_char(bytes/1024,'999,999')) kbytes, cost tot_cost,
object_node link, id, parent_id, other_tag||':'||other other,
partition_start, partition_stop, cpu_cost, io_cost,
access_predicates, filter_predicates,
round(temp_space/(1024*1024),2) temp_space_mb

Explain Plan for domain index

I am running explain plan for queries using a domain index. i.e. an oracle text 'contains' clause. The usage of the domain index appears in the plan o.k, but I am interested in seeing the underlying access to the DR$...$I etc tables and assoicated indexes belonging to ctxsys. Is it possible to see this access ?
Basically I have all the objects created by the domain index in their own tablespace using a storage preference, but I am wondering if the sub indexes should be moved out from the sub tables for better performance ? Any guidance is appreciated.

Explain plan for MVIEW....

Hi All,
please tell me how to invoke EXPLAIN PLAN for CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW.
while i am trying to get plan i am getting following error
ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for reply.
I need it for estimation and solution design. so all
parameters are necessary. second thing is DDL and
simple SELECT statements plan are differ. I can get
explain plan for CREATE TABLE AS SELECT but not for
CREATE MV.
Regards,
Santosh.In case you didn't notice: Create table as select (CTAS) is also DDL.
There is nothing additionally from point of the execution plan that is added by the CREATE MV command.

Efficient way to read through big explain plan and genterate html explain plan for sql id's executed in past

Hi,
I have a sql which is recently having a performance problems in Production. I have generated a explain plan for it trying to find out what it is doing but plan itself is close to 1000 lines. I want to check if there is any efficient way to go through big plan like this one and quickly find the damaging areas..
2) I also wanted to know if there is way to generate explain plans in HTML format which executed in past and have entry in dba_hist_sqltext.
3) I also have two sql_monitor reports which I want to compare. is there any efficient way to do it as well?
Please share your thoughts!
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I suggest you can try running sql advisor on the query maybe something fruitful comes up
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/sql-access-advisor-11gr1.php
I am not sure about the explain plan being printed in html format but
You may also want to try the sqlhistory.sql query from below page
http://evdbt.com/scripts/
I have used it many times to check on executions and explain plans which may have changed over the period
I have faced it many times , the query picks up a bad explain plan and performs poorly

ShareefYOu can also use dbms_xplain to generate plan used in v$sql. like for example
SQL>SELECT SQL_ID, CHILD_NUMBER FROM V$SQL WHERE SQL_TEXT LIKE 'select * from em%';
SQL_ID CHILD_NUMBER
6kd5fkqdjb8fu 0
SQL>SELECT * FROM TABLE(DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY_CURSOR('6kd5fkqdjb8fu',0,'ALLSTATS'));If you need the actual tuntime statistics used by sql statement then you need to put hint /*+ gather_plan_statistics */ in sql ststement, something like
select /*+ gather_plan_statistics */ * from emp;
and then generate the explain plan for this
Have a look

select * from table(dbms_xplan.display_cursor(null,null,'ALLSTATS LAST'));
