Whenever we get request for application slowness or sql query then we need to identify sql_id and to analyze sql_id, we need to check SQL execution/explain plan. 1. EXECUTION_PLAN: select id,plan_hash_value,operation, options,object_name,cardinality,cost,bytes,cpu_cost,io_cost,time,partition_start,partition_stop, object_node,other_tag,qblock_name,other_xml from dba_hist_sql_plan where sql_id='<SQL_ID>'; or select * from table(dbms_xplan.display_awr('<SQL_ID>')); EXPLAIN_PLAN: explain plan for <SQL_QUERY>; select * from table(dbms_xplan.display);
