NESTED LOOPS表示嵌套循环，Starts表示某个操作执行的次数，那么这里嵌套循环操作一共执行了1次，EMP表离NESTED LOOPS最近，表示EMP表作为驱动表，
它执行了1次(全表扫描)返回了8条记录。Oracle这时候就会从这8条记录中读取一行，然后去匹配内部表，
因为驱动表返回了8条记录，所以内部循环会执行8次。


技巧1：查看真实基数

比如下面这个SQL

SQL> explain plan for SELECT UOM.PROD_SKID,
  2         MAX (UOM.RELTV_CURR_QTY) RELTV_CURR_QTY,
  3         MAX (UOM.STAT_CURR_VAL) STAT_CURR_VAL,
  4         MAX (UOM.BAR_CURR_CODE) BAR_CURR_CODE
  5  --modified by Daniel on 10/26/2010 for CR 326285 of QMR10.1 hypercare retrofit begin
  6  FROM OPT_REF_UOM_TEMP_SDIM UOM,
  7       REF_PROD_DIM PROD
  8  WHERE UOM.RELTV_CURR_QTY = 1
  9        AND PROD.CURR_IND = 'Y'
 10        AND PROD.PROD_END_DATE = TO_DATE ('31-12-9999', 'dd-mm-yyyy')
 11        AND PROD.PROD_SKID = UOM.PROD_SKID
 12        AND PROD.BUOM_CURR_SKID = UOM.UOM_SKID
 13  --modified by Daniel on 10/26/2010 for CR 326285 of QMR10.1 hypercare retrofit end
 14  GROUP BY UOM.PROD_SKID;

Explained.

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

   5 - access("PROD"."PROD_SKID"="UOM"."PROD_SKID")

              9999-12-31 00:00:00', 'syyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss') AND "PROD"."CURR_IND"='Y' AND
              "PROD"."BUOM_CURR_SKID"="UOM"."UOM_SKID")

22 rows selected.

请看ID=4这步，CBO估算它只返回2967行数据。ID=4这步前面有*，表示它有谓词过滤。
4 - filter("UOM"."RELTV_CURR_QTY"=1)

UOM是表OPT_REF_UOM_TEMP_SDIM 的别名

那么我们手工计算它应该返回的真实基数：

SQL> select count(*) from OPT_REF_UOM_TEMP_SDIM where "RELTV_CURR_QTY"=1;

  COUNT(*)
----------
    946432

CBO估算它只返回2967条数据，但是它应该返回94W条数据，这里相差太大了，说明执行计划走错了，它后面的索引会被扫描94W次。


Oracle里的Rows 表示CBO估算它返回的行数
Rows(E-Rows)     预估操作返回的记录条数

在MySQL里呢？
