9i有一个新的包 dbms_xplan，对查询plan_table表是一个很有用的工具，相对于以前写一个复杂的SQL语句，然后从plan_table看执行计划，不如调用 dbms_xplan 包，还可以显示格式，这个工具的使用也非常方便。
调用的语法类似
select * from table(dbms_xplan.display(format=>'BASIC'))
使用 TABLE() 操作符，或者 CAST 操作。
DISPLAY 函数有三个参数
TABLE_NAME 指出优化计划放在哪个表里面，默认是 PLAN_TABLE.
STATEMENT_ID 指的是plan table中的statement_id字段，默认是last ID 或者 NULL.
FORMAT 指的是显示的格式
FORMAT参数有三个可选值，原文如下
BASIC It provides only the minimum amount of information, as in
case of the example above, similar to a query from
PLAN_TABLE directly.
TYPICAL This is the default value. It provides a variety of the
information useful for understanding how the optimizer
works for this statement. For instance, in case of partitioned
table operation, the columns PARTITION_START,
PARTITION_STOP, PARTITION_ID, and
FILTER_PREDICATES are displayed in addition to COST
for that step, the number of rows expected to be retrieved,
and number of bytes those rows may have. This provides
the information to understand statements involving
partitioned objects.
ALL This setting displays all the information displayed for the
BASIC and TYPICAL values, and also displays parallel
query operations and the related SQL statements, if those
are involved.
SERIAL This setting gets results similar to those retrieved by the
TYPICAL setting, but the queries are explained serially even
if a parallel query will be used.
一般推荐使用typical 参数，把SQLPLUS的linesize 参数调整到至少 120
[Q]如果设置自动跟踪 zt
[A]用system登录
执行$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlplan.sql创建计划表
执行$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/plustrce.sql创建plustrace角色
如果想计划表让每个用户都能使用，则
SQL>create public synonym plan_table for plan_table;
SQL> grant all on plan_table to public;
如果想让自动跟踪的角色让每个用户都能使用，则
SQL> grant plustrace to public;
通过如下语句开启/停止跟踪
SET AUTOTRACE ON |OFF
| ON EXPLAIN | ON STATISTICS | TRACEONLY | TRACEONLY EXPLAIN
下面是测试步骤
一
用sys用户建立
PLUSTRACE 角色
$ORACLE_HOMEE:oracleora92sqlplusadminPlustrce.sql
二：把权限授予某个人
grant plustrace to mjs;
三：建立表
建表SQL脚本为在${ORACLE_HOME}/rdbms/admin/下的utlxplan.sql。
四：使用说明
1：我们用一个大表来举例说明如何使用
dw_for_bo@MJS.SENSKY.COM> select count(*) from tbl_fact_sublog;
COUNT(*)
----------
1757960
2：一个很平常的SQL语句
用常规方法如下分析执行计划
analyze table tbl_fact_sublog compute statistics;
set autotrace traceonly
select id,handsetname,count(*) from tbl_fact_sublog group by id,handsetname ;
结果如下：
1757960 rows selected.

2 1 TABLE ACCESS (FULL) OF 'TBL_FACT_SUBLOG' (Cost=2284 Card

117199 SQL*Net roundtrips to/from client

1757960 rows processed
用 dbms_xplan 方法分析
delete from plan_table;
explain plan for select id,handsetname,count(*) from tbl_fact_sublog group by id,handsetname ;
dw_for_bo@MJS.SENSKY.COM> select * from table( dbms_xplan.display );
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes |TempSpc| Cost |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 1757K| 23M| | 30264 |
| 1 | SORT GROUP BY | | 1757K| 23M| 80M| 30264 |
| 2 | TABLE ACCESS FULL | TBL_FACT_SUBLOG | 1757K| 23M| | 2284 |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: cpu costing is off
10 rows selected.
可见，用dbms_xplan这个包可以发现排序的时候需要大概 80M的临时空间
dw_for_bo@MJS.SENSKY.COM> select * from table( dbms_xplan.display('PLAN_TABLE',null,'BASIC'));
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
-----------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------
| Id | Operation | Name |
-------------------------------------------------
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | |
| 1 | SORT GROUP BY | |
| 2 | TABLE ACCESS FULL | TBL_FACT_SUBLOG |
-------------------------------------------------
8 rows selected.
用BASIC参数得到的信息就少多了。
另：一个有趣的现象，如果我删除统计信息，结果是什么样的？
analyze table tbl_fact_sublog delete statistics;
dw_for_bo@MJS.SENSKY.COM> set autotrace traceonly
dw_for_bo@MJS.SENSKY.COM> select id,handsetname,count(*) from tbl_fact_sublog group by id,handsetname ;
1757960 rows selected.
Execution Plan
---------------------------------------------------------
0 SELECT STATEMENT Optimizer=CHOOSE
1 0 SORT (GROUP BY)
2 1 TABLE ACCESS (FULL) OF 'TBL_FACT_SUBLOG'

用 dbms_xplan 方法分析
delete from plan_table;
explain plan for select id,handsetname,count(*) from tbl_fact_sublog group by id,handsetname ;
dw_for_bo@MJS.SENSKY.COM> select * from table( dbms_xplan.display );
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | | | |
| 1 | SORT GROUP BY | | | | |
| 2 | TABLE ACCESS FULL | TBL_FACT_SUBLOG | | | |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: rule based optimization
10 rows selected.
从提示看出，用的是基于规则的优化器，而且没有显示排序大概需要多少空间，看来还是经过分析后用CBO比较好
