Method R Profiler also reports on bind variable substitution values. It doesn't report on *all* the values that were used, only the sets of substitution values that drive the best-case and worst-case performance for a given statement. The goal is that the worst-case substitution value set shows you the problem you need to work on first, and the best-case substitution value set shows you how well the statement should be able to perform.

Trace analyzer is much nicer than tkprof, but it still doesn't meet the principal design criterion of the Method R Profiler, which is to illuminate where *all* your business task's response time has gone, whether your problem is inefficient SQL or something else (which these days it often is). There are several types of response time problems that tkprof and trcanlzr don't go very far in helping you solve. The Method R Profiler has a * considerable* speed advantage over trcanlzr as well.

For more information, see http://method-r.com/software/profiler, as Dan previously noted.

A former colleague at Hotsos has asked me to bring to your attention that they also sell licenses for our Method R Profiler under the Hotsos Profiler brand name. I am no longer affiliated with Hotsos, so I hope that if you're interested in the product, you'll contact me directly.
