The objective is to generate explain plans against all of the statements in a performance environment before deployment in Production. This is, in case, the current performance test cases never execute certain SQL statements. I understand that this would not be foolproof and explain plans might still differ from actual execution plans.
The problem with PL/SQL profiler is the same as I stated in the earlier email. There would be a need to execute the packages and it is possible that the execution might not execute some SQL statements due to the conditional flows, unless the data is conditioned appropriately for each and every possible test case. This is for a critical application that is being re-architected and it's a complete rewrite. Hence the need to cover all bases.

Raj,
What's the idea behind your question? My experience with packages is that when they are poorly written, which happens more often than I'd like, the problem isn't so much with individual statements that look and are usually innocuous enough and for the most part "untunable" by themselves, but with cursor loops all over the place and a crazy logic (to my eyes, at least) directly imported from the most orthodox procedural programming applied to sequential files. Have you thought about using the PL/SQL profiler? Wonderful tool, and under-used IMHO.
Otherwise, I have once written a C program that scans the source of packages, looks for WHEN OTHERS THEN [return] NULL and other niceties, cursor loops, statements in cursor loops, it was also computing cyclomatic complexity and so on. The result was so dispiriting that I have stopped using it.
