OPTIONS

VARCHAR2(255)

A variation on the operation described in the OPERATION column (for example, FULL)

OBJECT_NODE

VARCHAR2(128)

OBJECT_NAME

VARCHAR2(128)

Name of the table or index

OBJECT_ALIAS

VARCHAR2(261)

Instance number for the object

OBJECT_TYPE

VARCHAR2(128)

Type of the object

OPTIMIZER

VARCHAR2(255)

Current mode of the optimizer for the first row in the plan (statement line), for example, CHOOSE. When the operation is a database access (for example, TABLE ACCESS), this column indicates whether or not the object is analyzed.

SEARCH_COLUMNS

A number assigned to each step in the execution plan

PARENT_ID

NUMBER(38)

DEPTH

NUMBER(38)

Depth (or level) of the operation in the tree. It is not necessary to issue a CONNECT BY statement to get the level information, which is generally used to indent the rows from the PLAN_TABLE table. The root operation (statement) is level 0.

POSITION

NUMBER(38)

Order of processing for all operations that have the same PARENT_ID.

COST

NUMBER(38)

Cost of the operation as estimated by the optimizer's cost-based approach. For statements that use the rule-based approach, this column is NULL.

CARDINALITY

NUMBER(38)

Estimate, made by the cost-based optimizer, of the number of rows produced by the operation

BYTES

NUMBER(38)

Estimate, made by the cost-based optimizer, of the number of bytes produced by the operation

OTHER_TAG

Step that computes the pair of values of the PARTITION_START and PARTITION_STOP columns

OTHER

LONG

Other information specific to the execution step that users may find useful. For information about values, see Oracle Database SQL Tuning Guide.

DISTRIBUTION

Stores the method used to distribute rows from producer query servers to consumer query servers

CPU_COST

NUMBER(38)

CPU cost of the operation as estimated by the optimizer's cost-based approach. For statements that use the rule-based approach, this column is NULL.

IO_COST

NUMBER(38)

I/O cost of the operation as estimated by the optimizer's cost-based approach. For statements that use the rule-based approach, this column is NULL.

TEMP_SPACE

NUMBER(38)

Temporary space usage of the operation (sort or hash join) as estimated by the optimizer's cost-based approach. For statements that use the rule-based approach, this column is NULL.

ACCESS_PREDICATES

VARCHAR2(4000)

Predicates used to locate rows in an access structure. For example, start or stop predicates for an index range scan.

FILTER_PREDICATES

VARCHAR2(4000)

Predicates used to filter rows before producing them

PROJECTION

VARCHAR2(4000)

Expressions produced by the operation

TIME

NUMBER(38)

Elapsed time (in seconds) of the operation as estimated by the optimizer's cost-based approach. For statements that use the rule-based approach, this column is NULL.

QBLOCK_NAME

VARCHAR2(128)

Name of the query block

OTHER_XML

CLOB

Provides extra information specific to an execution step of the execution plan. The content of this column is structured using XML since multiple pieces of information can be stored there. This includes:

  • Name of the schema against which the query was parsed

  • Release number of the Oracle Database that produced the explain plan

  • Hash value associated with the execution plan

  • Name (if any) of the outline or the SQL profile used to build the execution plan

  • Indication of whether or not dynamic statistics were used to produce the plan

  • The outline data, a set of optimizer hints that can be used to regenerate the same plan
