In Thomas' original post, he included the tkprof explain plan, but not the
Row Source Operation. The explain plan claims that the unique key is being
used, but the wait events show clearly that full scans are occurring.
The Row Source Operation info is the one to rely on to determine what actually happened during the trace.

Note that regardless of whether the EXPLAIN=3D option is passed to tkprof, the execution plan from the STAT lines in the tracefile will be reported under "Row Source Operation" in the tkprof=20 output. If EXPLAIN=3D option is specified, then in addition to "Row Source Operation", you'll have "Execution Plan" followed by the explain plan that was executed at tkprof runtime, using the userid/password specified.

But if you don't specify EXPLAIN=3D option then tkprof will read the execution plans directly from STAT lines in the tracefile.=20
