Hi,
I have an issue with optimizing / tuning RDBMSs. Afaik there are a lot of options to do that. My main interest is optimizing Oracle as well as DB2. So I found a tool named Visual Explain for DB2 Databases. This tool can analyze your sql and draw you an query plan. That's a nice way for finding failures in sql and indexes and so on.
My question now is, is there a similar tool for Oracle RDBMSs too?
Thank you in advance!
Theo

If you have Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) there is a nice Explain Plan in the SQL*Scratchpad tool. You can also view the plan for currently running SQLs in the SESSION window.
TOAD (downloadable off the Web) is also OK for explain plan.

Apart from TOAD there are more tools available.
Some of the excellent tools are
1. SQL Navigator
2. Spot light on Oracle
The Spot light gives out a entire picture DB in a
graphical format considering every corner of DB.
But it is costlier.
