No table is provided; OE.CUSTOMERS IS PART OF THE DBA_table view : following are example used in the lesson :

--your query;

/

SELECT PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT FROM TABLE (DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY());

Or in SQL developer click Explain Plan (F10) icon on the toolbar.

Example using EXPLAIN PLAN

EXPLAIN PLAN FOR

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM oe.customers c;

SELECT PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT FROM TABLE (DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY());

The result

The result shows that full scan of CUSTOMERS_PK was used. It took 1 sec.

Example using SQL Developer Explain Plan

There results are the same, but presented differently. SQL Developer Explain Plan all so allows to compare two execution palns.

Find all indexes for OE.CUSTOMERS table

SELECT * from DBA_IND_COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_OWNER='OE' and TABLE_NAME='CUSTOMERS';

Compare different queries using EXPLAIN PLAN

1.Study the structure of SH.CUSTOMERS table. This table is part of the same sample schema as OE.CUSTOMERS

What query did you use? Provide code of the query and screenshot of the results.

3.Find how many rows in SH.CUSTOMERS table have information about customers whose last name contains "ltz".

What query did you use? Provide code of the query and screenshot of the results.

What query did you use? Provide code of the query and screenshot of the results.

6.Find how many rows in SH.CUSTOMERS table have information about customers whose last name contains "ltz".

What query did you use? Provide code of the query and screenshot of the results.

7.Find an execution plan for the previous query.

Provide a screenshot and an explanation of the observed results.

8.Compare execution plans for both queries (before and after the index).

Provide a screenshot and an explanation of observed results.
