Cause for explain plan differences? - probably a basic question

Hi,

I have two database instances 816SE and 817EE on WinNT. For the same query I get different result as follows (optimizer_mode=CHOOSE).

What actually I don't understand is, that why are there resource costs in the EE 8.1.7. version and not in the SE 8.1.6 version. Both databases are created in the default database as supplied by Oracle and the import utility is used to load data.

Could someone shed some light on this? Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Tamas Szecsy
