Tkprof not showing the Execution Plan for Statement

Question

Hi all
using oracle 9i release 2
I have issued the following statements
alter session set sql_trace
alter session set events '10046 trace name context forever, level 12';
--then executed a pl-sql procedure
after reading the traceout outfile it shows the Execution plan for statements directly wirtten under begin and end block and doesnot displays the plan for the statements written like this
procedure a is
cursor b is
select ename,dname from dept a,emp b
where a.deptno=b.deptno;
begin
for x in a loop --plan not found but stats are written
select ename into v_ename from emp where empno=300; --does show the plan+stats
end;
what I am missing to get the actual plan in trace output file
thanks in advance

Answer 1

You have to exit sql*plus after running the procedure, example tkprof is below:
declare
cursor c is
select ename, dname
from emp, dept
where emp.deptno = dept.deptno;
begin
for v_x in c
loop
dbms_output.put_line(v_x.ename || ' ' ||v_x.dname);
end loop;
end;
