Hi,

I am new to performance tuning. I need to understand the expalin plan output.
I did the following steps.
(1) Explain plan for
select e.empno, e.ename, d.dname
from emp e, dept d
where e.deptno = d.deptno
and e.deptno = 10;

Explained.

(2) SQL> SELECT * FROM table(dbms_xplan.display(null,null,'basic'));

PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
------------------------------------------------
Plan hash value: 568005898
------------------------------------------------
| Id | Operation | Name |
------------------------------------------------
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | |
| 1 | NESTED LOOPS | |
| 2 | TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID| DEPT |
| 3 | INDEX UNIQUE SCAN | PK_DEPT |
| 4 | TABLE ACCESS FULL | EMP |
------------------------------------------------

Now What I need to do in order to increase the performance.
Please help.

Thanks in advanced

If you want to try out techniques for improving performance you need to try them on queries that are actually slow. I very much doubt your example is slow.
