ALL_SQLSET_PLANS

ALL_SQLSET_PLANS describes captured plans for statements in the SQL tuning sets accessible to the current user.

Column Datatype NULL Description
SQLSET_NAME VARCHAR2(30) NOT NULL Name of SQL tuning set for the statement
SQLSET_ID NUMBER NOT NULL ID of SQL tuning set for the statement
SQLSET_OWNER VARCHAR2(30)   User name of SQL tuning set owner
SQL_ID VARCHAR2(13) NOT NULL SQL identifier of the parent cursor in the library cache
FORCE_MATCHING_SIGNATURE NUMBER NOT NULL The signature used when the CURSOR_SHARING parameter is set to FORCE
PLAN_HASH_VALUE NUMBER NOT NULL Numerical representation of the SQL plan for the cursor. Comparing one PLAN_HASH_VALUE to another easily identifies whether or not two plans are the same (rather than comparing the two plans line-by-line).
SQL_SEQ NUMBER NOT NULL SQL sequence
STATEMENT_ID VARCHAR2(30)   Statement ID
PLAN_ID NUMBER   Plan ID
TIMESTAMP DATE   Date and time timestamp
REMARKS VARCHAR2(4000)   Remarks
OPERATION VARCHAR2(30)   Name of the internal operation performed in this step (for example, TABLE ACCESS)
OPTIONS VARCHAR2(255)   A variation on the operation described in the OPERATION column (for example, FULL)
OBJECT_NODE VARCHAR2(128)   Name of the database link used to reference the object (a table name or view name). For local queries that use parallel execution, this column describes the order in which output from operations is consumed.
OBJECT_OWNER VARCHAR2(30)   Name of the user who owns the schema containing the table or index
OBJECT_NAME VARCHAR2(30)   Name of the table or index
OBJECT_ALIAS VARCHAR2(65)   Alias for the object
OBJECT_INSTANCE NUMBER(38)   Instance number for the object
OBJECT_TYPE VARCHAR2(30)   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 NUMBER   Number of index columns with start and stop keys (that is, the number of columns with matching predicates)
ID NUMBER(38) NOT NULL A number assigned to each step in the execution plan
PARENT_ID NUMBER(38)   ID of the next execution step that operates on the output of the current step
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 VARCHAR2(255)   Describes the contents of the OTHER column. For information about values, see EXPLAIN PLAN in Oracle Database Performance Tuning Guide.
PARTITION_START VARCHAR2(255)   Start partition of a range of accessed partitions
PARTITION_STOP VARCHAR2(255)   Stop partition of a range of accessed partitions
PARTITION_ID NUMBER(38)   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 EXPLAIN_PLAN in Oracle Database Performance Tuning Guide.
DISTRIBUTION VARCHAR2(30)   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(30)   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 sampling was used to produce the plan

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

For further information about values, see EXPLAIN PLAN in Oracle Database Performance Tuning Guide

EXECUTIONS NUMBER   Number of times the plan has been executed
STARTS NUMBER   Number of times this operation has been started, accumulated over the past executions
OUTPUT_ROWS NUMBER   Number of rows produced by the row source, accumulated over the past executions
CR_BUFFER_GETS NUMBER   Number of buffers received in consistent mode, accumulated over the past executions. Buffers are usually retrieved in consistent mode for queries.
CU_BUFFER_GETS NUMBER   Number of buffers retrieved in current mode, accumulated over the past executions. Buffers are retrieved in current mode for statements such as INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE.
DISK_READS NUMBER   Number of physical disk reads performed by the operation, accumulated over the past executions
DISK_WRITES NUMBER   Number of physical disk writes performed by the operation, accumulated over the past executions
ELAPSED_TIME NUMBER   Elapsed time (in microseconds) corresponding to this operation, accumulated over the past executions

ESTIMATED_ONEPASS_SIZE NUMBER   Estimated size (in KB) required by this work area to execute the operation in a single pass. This is either derived from optimizer statistics or from previous executions.
LAST_MEMORY_USED NUMBER   Memory size (in KB) used by this work area during the last execution of the cursor
LAST_EXECUTION VARCHAR2(10)   Indicates whether this work area ran using OPTIMAL, ONE PASS, or under ONE PASS memory requirement (MULTI-PASS), during the last execution of the cursor

ACTIVE_TIME NUMBER   Average time this work area is active (in hundredths of a second)
MAX_TEMPSEG_SIZE NUMBER   Maximum temporary segment size (in bytes) created by an instantiation of this work area. This column is null if this work area has never spilled to disk.
LAST_TEMPSEG_SIZE NUMBER   Temporary segment size (in bytes) created in the last instantiation of this work area. This column is null if the last instantiation of this work area did not spill to disk.
