RE: problem consistently getting explain plan with 10046 trace

we will try exiting the session. We just had something odd happen. One of our developers used 10046 trace on a set of procedures inside of a package.

The sql that was just selects got us the explain plan with the row by row LIO and PIO which is what we want, but the array inserts did not. We just got the explain plan dump.

we will also try v$sql_plan.

thanks.

Ryan,  

The Oracle kernel emits the STAT lines to the trace only when the application closes a cursor. Exiting before disabling the trace is usually the surest way to make the close event occur. So do this instead:  

alter session set time_statistics=true;
alter session set events '10046 trace name context forever, level 12';
<run stuff>

disconnect;

Subject: problem consistently getting explain plan with 10046 trace  

We have found that we do not always get the 10046 explain plan that gives us the LIO and PIO for each row source with a level 12 report.  

This is what we are doing.  

alter session set time_statistics=true
alter session set events '10046 trace name context forever, level 12';
<run stuff>

alter session set events '10046 trace name context off';  

We find that we get the plan more often if we do a level 8 and if we exit the session the session before running tkprof.  

tkprof *.trc *.rep sys=no explain=<username/password>  

I don't really want the 'explain plan' you get in sqlplus. I need the one specific to the trace file that gives LIOs and PIOs by row source.  

anyone else having this problem?
