DBMS_XPLAN是Oracle提供的一个用于查看SQL计划，包括执行计划和解释计划的包；在以前查看SQL执行计划的时候，我都是使用set autotrace命令，不过现在看来，DBMS_XPLAN包给出了更加简化的获取和显示计划的方式。
这5个函数分别对应不同的显示计划的方式，DBMS_XPLAN包不仅可以获取解释计划，它还可以用来输出存储在AWR，SQL调试集，缓存的SQL游标，以及SQL基线中的语句计划，实现如上的功能，通常会用到一下5个方法：
1.DISPLAY
2.DISPLAY_AWR
3.DISPLAY_CURSOR
4.DISPLAY_PLAN
5.DISPLAY_SQL_PLAN_BASELINE
6.DISPLAY_SQLSET
下面将重点讨论关于DBMS_XPLAN包在解释计划和执行计划上的应用。
来看一个经常使用的查看某条语句的解释计划示例：
SQL> explain plan for select * from scott.emp;Explained.
SQL> select * from table(dbms_xplan.display);
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Plan hash value: 3956160932
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 14 | 532 | 3 (0)| 00:00:01 | | 1 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| EMP | 14 | 532 | 3 (0)| 00:00:01 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
8 rows selected.
-- 对应autotrace实现 SQL> set autotrace traceonly explain
上例中使用了dbms_xplan.display方法来显示PLAN_TABLE中保存的解释计划，如果想要显示执行计划，就需要使用到DMBS_XPLAN.DISPLAY_CURSOR方法了，DMBS_XPLAN.DISPLAY_CURSOR调用签名：
DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY_CURSOR( sql_id IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL, child_number IN NUMBER DEFAULT NULL, format IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'TYPICAL');
sql_id表示存储在cursor cache中的SQL语句的id，child_number用于指示缓存sql语句计划的子id，format参数用于控制包含在输出中的信息类型，官档的参数如下：
1.BASIC: 显示最少的信息，只包括操作类型，ID名称和选项。
2.TYPICAL: 默认值，显示相关信息以及某些附加的显示选项，如分区和并发使用等。
3.SERIAL: 与TYPICAL类型相似，区别是它不包括并发的信息，即使是并行执行的计划。
4.ALL: 显示最多的信息，包含了TYPICAL的全部以及更多的附加信息,如别名和远程调用等。
除了以上的基本的四种输出格式外，format还有一些附加的选项可用于定制化输出行为，使用中可以通过逗号和空格分隔来声明多个关键字，同时可以使用”+”和”-”符号来包含或排除相应的显示元素，这些附加的选项在官档中也有记载：
1.ROWS – 显示被优化器估算的记录的行号
2.BYTES – 显示优化器估算的字节数
3.COST – 显示优化器计算的成本信息
4.PARTITION – 显示分区的分割信息
5.PARALLEL – 显示并行执行信息
6.PREDICATE – 显示谓语
7.PROJECTION – 显示列投影部分(每一行的那些列被传递给其父列已经这些列的大小)
8.ALIAS – 显示查询块名称已经对象别名
9.REMOTE – 显示分布式查询信息
10.NOTE – 显示注释
11.IOSTATS – 显示游标执行的IO统计信息
12.MEMSTATS – 为内存密集运算如散列联结，排序，或一些类型的位图运算显示内存管理统计信息
13.ALLSTATS – 与'IOSTATS MEMSTATS'等价
14.LAST – 显示最后执行的执行计划统计信息，默认显示为ALL类型，并且可以累积。
以上的参数同样适用于解释计划的display方法。
示例部分：
一、使用display_cursor方法查看最近一条语句的执行计划
SQL> select /*+ gather_plan_statistics */ count(*) from scott.emp;COUNT(*) ---------- 14
SQL> select * from table(dbms_xplan.display_cursor(null,null,'ALLSTATS LAST'));
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SQL_ID f9qyz8s3c2c02, child number 0 ------------------------------------- select /*+ gather_plan_statistics */ count(*) from scott.emp
Plan hash value: 2937609675
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Id | Operation | Name | Starts | E-Rows | A-Rows | A-Time | Buffers | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 1 | | 1 |00:00:00.01 | 1 | | 1 | SORT AGGREGATE | | 1 | 1 | 1 |00:00:00.01 | 1 | | 2 | INDEX FULL SCAN| PK_EMP | 1 | 14 | 14 |00:00:00.01 | 1 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
14 rows selected.
使用dbms_xplan.display_cursor(null,null,'ALLSTATS LAST')时，将sql_id和child_number设置成null，表示获取上一条执行语句的执行计划；注意上面的例子中一定要指定gather_plan_statistics提示或者手动设置数据库STATISTICS_LEVEL参数为ALL来使得其抓取行数据源的执行统计信息，这些信息包括行数，一直读取次数，物理读次数，物理写次数以及运算在一行数据上耗费的运行时间，如果没有指定该提示，就不会有A-Rows,A-Time,Buffers这三列信息。
二、获取某条指定语句的执行计划
SQL> select /*+ gather_plan_statistics */ count(*) from hr.employees where department_id in (90, 100);COUNT(*) ---------- 9
-- 通过v$sql视图查询到sql语句的SQL_ID和CHILD_NUMBER SQL> select sql_id,child_number,sql_text from v$sql 2 where sql_text like '%select /*+ gather_plan_statistics */ count(*)%';
SQL_ID CHILD_NUMBER SQL_TEXT ------------- ------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5qxmkvh40yw0p 0 select /*+ gather_plan_statistics */ count(*) from hr.employees where department_id in (90, 100) bqjrnskvpv51n 0 select sql_id,child_number,sql_text from v$sql where sql_text like '%select /*+ gather_plan_statisti cs */ count(*)%'
-- 获取对应的执行计划 SQL> select * from table(dbms_xplan.display_cursor('5qxmkvh40yw0p',0,'ALLSTATS LAST'));
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SQL_ID 5qxmkvh40yw0p, child number 0 ------------------------------------- select /*+ gather_plan_statistics */ count(*) from hr.employees where department_id in (90, 100)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Id | Operation | Name | Starts | E-Rows | A-Rows | A-Time | Buffers | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 1 | | 1 |00:00:00.01 | 2 | | 1 | SORT AGGREGATE | | 1 | 1 | 1 |00:00:00.01 | 2 | | 2 | INLIST ITERATOR | | 1 | | 9 |00:00:00.01 | 2 | |* 3 | INDEX RANGE SCAN| EMP_DEPARTMENT_IX | 2 | 9 | 9 |00:00:00.01 | 2 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Predicate Information (identified by operation id): ---------------------------------------------------

三、通过format参数定制执行计划输出信息
-- 使用ALL来显示解释计划的全部信息 SQL> explain plan for 2 select * from emp e, dept d 3 where e.deptno = d.deptno 4 and e.ename = 'JONES' ;Explained.
SQL> select * from table(dbms_xplan.display(format=>'ALL'));
