dbms_xplan的调用的语法类似: select * from table(dbms_xplan.display(format=>''''BASIC'''')) 使用 TABLE() 操作符,或者 CAST 操作。
具体用法可以参考Oracle官方文档。
实际上从Oracle9i开始我们就经常使用如下方式调用dbms_xplan:
Connected to:
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production
With the Partitioning option
JServer Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production
SQL> explain plan for
2 select count(*) from dual;
Explained.
SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/utlxplp;

10 rows selected.
utlxplp.sql脚本中正是调用了dbms_xplan:
SQL> get ?/rdbms/admin/utlxplp;
