what privilege is require for a user to execute explain plan? I get below error while try to execute explain plan.

I am facing a weird situation wherein the explain plan of same sql in SIT and PROD is different.In fact the explain plan is very costly in Prod.Also the DB version of both SIT and PROD is same.
Below is the sql and corresponding explain plan in Prod and SIT respectively.
Query:
SELECT seq,CCN,ProcessorPart,root_item,comp_path,Item,comp_item,comp_item_type,
lag(comp_item_type,1,'PART') over(PARTITION BY seq ORDER BY lvl)Nxt_comp_item_type,lvl,bom_qty,
ROUND(CASE min(abs(bom_qty)) OVER (PARTITION BY seq ORDER BY lvl)
WHEN 0 THEN 0 ELSE 1 END * EXP (SUM (LN (nullif(abs(bom_qty),0))) OVER (PARTITION BY seq ORDER BY lvl))) Ulti_qty,
'AMER'
[code]...
The tables referred in above query is small tables containing arnd 10k records.The above tables are partitioned on Region and not indexed.

I am not able to attribute why there is a huge change in Cost between SIT and Prod.Apparently the Job is going for 3-5 hours which used to get completed within 20mins in SIT.
however I was able to identify a poorly performing query that seemed to be maxing out our CPU. I have been trying to understand the Explain Plan. The plan below is from our test system which has considerably less information in the tables than our PROD system.
I can see there are a bunch of table scans at the end which may indicate missing indexes, but I am unclear on whether this is actually a problem as the %CPU seems to be worse for the JOIN near the top of the plan.

I need to warn readers that I am not a DBA but am heavily involved in application development. Whatever I know about database tuning is whatever I've managed to pick up via self-learning, and I must admit that the sum total of my knowledge isn't a lot.
Anyway, our "DBAs" recently did an upgrade to our 10g database, going from version 10.2.0.2.0 to 10.2.0.4.0. Immediately after the upgrade, a particular query has started to under-perform. The query itself was not altered in any way during the upgrade.
We have two explain plans for the query, a before and an after plan. The two plans are similar but not identical. The plans are too massive to post here, so I hope the following synopsis of the differences will do.
The 10.2.0.2.0 plan:
shows a HASH GROUP BY
has a TempSpc column in the explain plan
shows a particular table (EMP_HISTORY) as having ~1700 rows
The 10.2.0.4.0 plan:
shows SORT GROUP BY instead of HASH GROUP BY does not show a TempSpc column in the explain plan shows the EMP_HISTORY table as having only 25 rows
Other than these points, no other discernible differences can be noted. I'm wondering what would cause HASH to change to SORT. I'm told that stats are up-to-date.
I have two Oracle instances that are setup identically.When I run a query on one of them, it takes around 3 seconds, on the other it takes around 200 seconds.
I have looked at the explain plans, and it has shown me what I think is the problem. On one instance, it does a join on two tables, then runs the other filter/access predicates. On the other instance it runs the filter/access predicated first, then does the expensice join. The one that does the join first is the one that takes around 200 seconds. How to tell Oracle to make this join after runnning the other predicates?
since the optimizer (during explain plan) assumes all bind variable to be of varchar type, while checking plan for SQL statement using bind variable of numeric and date type shall we convert (typecast) it as following?
variable n_sal number
variable dt_joining date
exec n_sal:= 1000
exec dt_joining := '12-dec-2005'
select first_name from emp_data where sal=to_number(n_sal) and joining=to_date(dt_joining);
I have created an non unique index lk_fein on lookup_fein( code,map_id,trash). When I check the explain plan it does a full table scan on lookup_fein. if I force it to use index by it does and the cost also decreases.
SQL> SELECT WORK_FEIN,
2 NON_FEIN ,
3 FI_FEIN ,
4 MFEIN ,
5 TOTAL_FEIN ,

I have an APP that truncates tables and loads data, which in turn makes the stats stale. I ran the query advisor (see attachment) and of course it ecommends running stats or accept a profile.I really don't want to do that as it may cause a load on my DB.
In turn, I would like to consider having my APP team change the query to pass a hint to use the best query plan.syntax to pass the hint to emulate good attached plan? Or is this a bad way to proceed?
select /* INDEX FAST FULL SCAN PK_PLACEMENT_REQUEST_QUEUE */
sum(lastshares) as "ROSEN"
from nyeo.fix_exec_reports fer, nyeo.placement_request_queue q,
nyeo.nyeo_block_control bc
where fer.clordid = q.sequence_number
and q.blockid = bc.blockid
and upper(bc.deskname) like '%ROSEN%'
Why the query is behaving differently with the different database.(execution plan)
Whatever the production database is having same database instance replicated to a new schema. I tried both the queries running on both environment.In prod the index has been used but in newdev it is not. This case existing primary key index were not been used.
How can i check the avg time taken by an execution plan. Actually i have a very big query and it changes its execution plan very often, we would like to lock the best execution plan and to find it , i would like to know the Average Execution Time the query takes when it runs using different different execution plans.

Following is the example

exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(user,'T2',cascade=>true);
select count(*) from t1 where object_type='VIEW';
COUNT(*)

set autotrace traceonly explain
Can we say in the following case, that,
(1) First index on object_type is accessed to get rowids - t1.object_type='VIEW'
(2) Then the filter on owner is applied - t1.owner='SYS'
(3) Then the table T1 is accessed to fetch data from the rowids returned by the index I11 and filer application - TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID
Though I am unable to understand how filter can be applied to the rowids retrieved from index, we can see from the plan below that The rows accessed have reduced from 8550 to 1221 before we access the table...Thus filter "t1.owner='SYS'" is applied in between. Right?
another question is
Case 1 - do we retrieve a rowid from index for a given value, then retrieve required values from table for that rowid
Thus row at a time in both ... in loop
OR
Case 2 - we first fetch all rowids from index and then retrieve values from table one row at a time from the collection of rowids fetched?
Suppose Case 1 is what is happening then can we say, both the steps mentioned by IDS 2,3 in plan below are executed exactly equal number of times and the filter "t1.owner='SYS'" is applied at some later stage? Of course in this case the values in ROWS stand misleading then
select * from t1,t2 where t1.id = t2.id and t1.object_type='VIEW' and t1.owner='SYS';

So the situation is like this
- Database A (20 tables)
- Database B (20 tables)
- Both A and B are Oracle 11gR2
- Both of these databases run on different hardware (A is a VM, B is on a physical host)
- The 20 tables in A and B have exactly same number of rows and after preparing the data, the schemas were analysed using the same DBMS_STATS parameters
Despite this, the execution plans appear to be quite different for the same queries between A and B
I imagine there is something outside of the Oracle table rowcounts, table stats, column stats, index stats that's resulting in the different execution plans.
refere to below 2 queries and their execution plans:
First Query
INSERT INTO temp_vendor(vendor_record_seq_no,checksum,rownumber,transaction_type,iu_flag)
SELECT /*+ USE_NL ( vd1 ,vd2 ,vd3 ) leading ( vd1 ,vd2 ,vd3 , tvd) */
vd1.vendor_record_seq_no, tvr.checksum, tvr.rownumber, tvr.transaction_type, 'U'
FROM vendor_data vd1,
[code]...
Second Query
SELECT vd1.vendor_record_seq_no, tvr.checksum, tvr.rownumber, tvr.transaction_type, 'U'
FROM ( select * from vendor_data vd1
where vd1.study_seq_no = 99903
AND vd1.control_column_seq_no = 435361232

Both are to achieve same output but written in different ways. CAn I get same exectuion plan from 1st query as there is for 2nd using hints

One of our clients is using Rule Based Optimizer on Oracle 10.2.0.3.0
2-3 weeks backs, during performance issue in one of the sql queries, one of our team members executed tuning adviser for it, created SQL profile and the subsequent execution of the SQL did not took much time (less I/O). Now it took hardly a minute to execute
When this happened I checked that the SQL profile forced that particular query to use CBO (say plan_hash_value is PHV1 here). Yesterday the same query again took 15-20 minutes for execution. I checked that even for this execution the query used the same SQL profile but "this time" with different plan_hash_value - say PHV2.
Today again the query executed in less than a minute and used the plan_hash_value as PHV1.

I am unable to understand how execution plan and thus plan_hash_value is changing for the same SQL Profile. I read that SQL Profile (unlike stored outline) keeps up with increasing data volume and may not keep up with changing data distribution.
I checked that values for 4 bind variables out of 81 are different for execution between today and yesterdays' run(queried v$sql_bind_capture based on last_captured)
My questions are
1) does the different plan_hash_values with different execution plans for query using same SQL profile mean the query was hard parsed multiple times and still used the same SQL profile?
2) If that is the case why I never saw child_number = 1 in any of the views for the same sql_id. I tried it repeatedly over last 2 weeks and always found child_number=0 in v$sql (also loaded_versions=1)
3) Does the different values of bind variable are causing this flip-flop of the plans? How can I conclude this?
I have 2 plans with 2 different plan_hash_values. I know which would be better. How can I force the sql to use better plan in the two in this case where I am using Rule Based Optimizer and have SQL profile created If this is not possible then how can I create stored outline from the existing plan (not waiting for subsequent execution to take place).
The types of query I refer to in the title are of this pseudo-code ilk:
select t.column_value
from table1 o, xmltable('for $co in $data
where $co/path1=$bind1
and $co/path2=$bind2
passing o.field as "data", :b1 as "bind1", :b2 as "bind2") t
where o.field = :b3
They're querying a table with a (binary) xmltype with a path/domain index over this column.As those who have had the (mis)fortune to run into these will know, the queries are extensively rewritten under the covers to access to xml via the paths supplied.
getting a baseline to work with queries like this? I was suspicious because whilst I can hint it to pick a certain access path first (leading()), the plan hashes remain the same.
I'm not sure, however, if I'm simply "doing it wrong" or it is just not possible with the level of recursive rewriting going on.NB: I consider myself reasonably competent in applying baselines to "traditional" queries...
How to find explain plan of a query in oracle using TOAD(any) and SQL Developer(any)?

after "starting" the above pl/sql block from Session 1, I keep on querying tab2 from Session 2 And as soon as 2 records are inserted in tab2, I create index from Session 2

As I have tested from a single session (just before this test) such index is used for the sql statement
select count(1) into x from tab1 where object_id=2331;
However when I checked the trace file I am not geeting results as expected
I am expecting 4 execution plans - 2 FTS and 2 Index Access scans and for this I am issuing following command

1) Why I am unable to see 4 execution plans - 2 with FTS and 2 with Index access when I mentioned 'aggregate=no'?
2) Whether the index i will be used for last 2 iterations after first 2 iterations of FTS?
If answer to above question 2) is 'No'
By which method I can force an ongoing sql statement in loop to take different execution path? Of course I can't hard parse sql in 'that' current session Will flushing Shared pool work in above case?

The prod stats has been implemented in development. The stats has been gathered 2 months back on dev while in production the stats has been gathered 2 weeks back.
My question shouldn't the high volume of data causes changes in plan in both the environment? My thinking is that plan can be different as the high volume of data are changing in prod it may lead to a different plan.

Why the elasped time changed when data and plan hasn't changed at all? Also why the plan has different stats for round 1 and 2 on db1 and db2?
I ran it 2 times each round each database so hard parsing shall not be issue.Also why the number of rows accessed are different in db1,db2 and db3,db4 especially for step1 when count of crt.qtn_cun_id is similar?
In fact when the query was taking long I was the only user on the system Also I used hard coded value (no bind variables at all)
I checked num_rows, distinct keys as well which are quite similar across all 4 databases Also no stats where gather during the query execution
What I should have checked or monitored?

i do not know how many IO accrued ?
i tried set autotrace on
but the physical read is 0 , this is not possible because i have more than 100000 objects there and all indexed as R-tree
Which step in the following plan is the first step of execution
I reckon it is "TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID| BANK_BATCH_STATE"
Is that correct?
In the "Predicate Information (identified by operation id):"
section the predicates - access and filter for the step "TABLE ACCESS FULL | PYMNT_DUES" are displayed first
Isn't there any relation between the order of execution steps and the order in which predicates are displayed?

An SQL query is taking a lot of time than usual and not completing even left after hours! The query joins a table with a quite complex view.
The same query in a test database completes in less than 2 mins.
I would like to export the sql plan from test database to prod database.
how to export/import in 10.2.0.4 version for a particular sql statement's execution plan.
DBMS_STATS.CREATE_STATS_TABLE
DBMS_STATS.EXPORT_SCHEMA_STATS
DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS
I have used the above to get a copy of schema stats and gather new stats for specific tables into a STATS TABLE in my personal schema. What I want to do now is use this stats table to generate plans for queries where I believe stats are off. Is it even possible? To be clear, I do not want to import stats because this replaces the stats currently there. I just want to point the CBO to my stats table for generating plans.
there was a session parameter I could set to tell oracle to use my stats table when generating plans, or an explain plan clause I could use or a DBMS_XPLAN paramter I could provide that would tell these tools to use my stats table when generating a plan, or even some way to tell autotrace. But I have found none of this.
I am trying to run a trace file with TKPROF. It throws an error :

The size of the trace file is 8MB. I tried with some other file trace files bigger in size (10MB) than the above file, it works fine. I tried seeing any permission right is required on that trace file is required for the tkprof to excute, but it has got the same permissions like the other trace files.
The problem is that it is not showing any error number or any other Error Description other than "MEMORY FAULT".

Looking to understand the difference between instance tuning and database tuning.
What is the difference between these two tuning exercises? I understand that an instance is memory based structures (logical) where as database consists of physical structures.
However, how does one tune a database the physical structure? Does it have to do with file placements/block sizes etc. Would you agree that a lot of that is taken care by ASM now in 11g? What tools are required/available (third party as well as oracle supplied) for these types of tuning scenarios?
