Not able to get the actual plan from trace file

Question

Hi all
I have a Db package and want to get actual execution plan of all the statements in that pakcage it does provides the plan for System's statements but does not displays the plan for Sql statements
DB version 9.2.0 using the following sequence of insructions
set timing on
set serveroutput on
alter session set events '10046 trace name context forever ,level 12';
begin
run_service.collect_data(sysdate);
end;
alter session set sql_trace=false;
exit; ---exit from Sql
now look at the output
select distinct obj#,containerobj#,pflags,xpflags,mflags
from
sum$, suminline$ where sumobj#=obj# and inline#=:1

Answer 1

Remove the line alter session set sql_trace=false and just exit/disconnect. The explain plain is contained in the STAT lines in the trace file and are only written when the cursor closes. If you turn off tracing before the cursor closes the STAT lines will not get written.
