Yes, I have such a tool also. Unfortunately for me, when I try to use it on my most problem child database, it barfs and dies with and ORA-3113. Seems 'explain plan' chokes and dies on complex plans, such as when evaluating the execution path for an insert that goes through an 'on insert' trigger.

This is 8.1.7.4, the bug was supposedly fixed by then.

Guess what the fix is now? You guessed it, 'just upgrade your database'. Simon Travaglia must work for Oracle.
