AUTOTRACE

1.sqlplus
设置参数 set atuotrace on
SET AUTOTRACE OFF            --No AUTOTRACE report is generated. This is the default. 
SET AUTOTRACE ON EXPLAIN     --The AUTOTRACE report shows only the optimizer execution path. 
SET AUTOTRACE ON STATISTICS  --The AUTOTRACE report shows only the SQL statement execution statistics. 
SET AUTOTRACE ON             --The AUTOTRACE report includes both the optimizer execution path and the SQL statement execution statistics. 
SET AUTOTRACE TRACEONLY      --Like SET AUTOTRACE ON, but suppresses the printing of the user's query output, if any. If STATISTICS is enabled, query data is still fetched, but not printed. 

然后执行语句
在语句的结果后面会有执行计划。
2.sqlplus
使用DBMS_XPLAN包。

已解释。

SQL> SET LINESIZE 130
SQL> SET PAGESIZE 0
SQL> SELECT * FROM table(DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY);
Plan hash value: 1357081020
