Oracle查看SQL执行计划1--explain plan

Posted 2021-03-17

语法：
explain plan for + 目标SQL
select * from table(dbms_xplan.display);

eg：
SQL> explain plan for select empno,ename,dname from scott.emp,scott.dept where emp.deptno=dept.deptno;
Explained.

SQL> set linesize 800
SQL> select * from table(dbms_xplan.display);

Oracle10g11g中，如果我们对目标SQL执行explain plan命令，则oracle就将解析目标SQL所产生的执行计划的具体执行步骤写入PLAN_TABLE$，随后执行select * from table(dbms_xplan.display)，只是从PLAN_TABLE$中将这些具体执行步骤以格式化的方式显示出来。

PLAN_TABLE$是一个on commit preserve rows的global temporary table,所以这里Oracle可以做到各个session只能看到自己执行的SQL所产生的执行计划，并且各个session往PLAN_TABLE$写入执行计划的过程互不干扰。
