set autotrace on

在SQL*Plus中，你可以通过设置autotrace选项来在执行SQL命令的同时，自动的获得语句的执行计划和附加的统计信息。AUTOTRACE是一个很出色的Oracle SQL语句的诊断工具，与Explain plan不同的是这条SQL是实际执行了的，同时AUTOTRACE使用起来也极为方便。


一、启用Autotrace功能。
任何以SQL*PLUS连接的session都可以用Autotrace,不过还是要做一些设置的，否则可能报错。

1、报错示例：
SQL :> set autotrace on;
SP2-0613: Unable to verify PLAN_TABLE format or existence
SP2-0611: Error enabling EXPLAIN report
SP2-0618: Cannot find the Session Identifier. Check PLUSTRACE role is enabled
SP2-0611: Error enabling STATISTICS report

2、解决方法：

a.以SYS用户运行plustrce.sql脚本

cd $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin

oracle>sqlplus \'/ as sysdba\';
SQL>@plustrce.sql

b.给任何想使用Autotrace的用户授PLUSTRACE权限。

SQL>grant plustrace to hr;

c.同时被授权的用户比如hr用户的PLAN_TABLE这个表必须存在。如果不存在这样：

cd $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin

oracle>sqlplus hr/hr; --hr为示例用户
SQL>@utlxplan.sql

二、设置Autotrace的命令。

序号 命令 解释
1 SET AUTOTRACE OFF 此为默认值，即关闭Autotrace
2 SET AUTOTRACE ON EXPLAIN 只显示执行计划
3 SET AUTOTRACE ON STATISTICS   只显示执行的统计信息
4 SET AUTOTRACE ON 包含2,3两项内容
5 SET AUTOTRACE TRACEONLY   与ON相似，但不显示语句的执行结果。

三、Autotrace执行计划的各列的涵义

序号 列名   解释
1 ID_PLUS_EXP 每一步骤的行号
2 PARENT_ID_PLUS_EXP 每一步的Parent的级别号
3 PLAN_PLUS_EXP 实际的每步
4 OBJECT_NODE_PLUS_EXP   Dblink或并行查询时才会用到

四、AUTOTRACE Statistics常用列解释

序号 统计列 解释
1 db block gets 从buffer cache中读取的block的数量
2 consistent gets 从buffer cache中读取的undo数据的block的数量
3 physical reads 从磁盘读取的block的数量
4 redo size DML生成的redo的大小
5 sorts (memory) 在内存执行的排序量
7 sorts (disk) 在磁盘上执行的排序量

五、示例
