I know that but he asked for "how fast the query was"

I expected he meant clock time, IOW, I tried to answer the question he asked.

EXPLAIN PLAN is a good tool to know, however, it does not actually execute the query, so you can not get timing information from it. The third tool of course is SET AUTOTRACE, which does execute the query.

I have used all of these tools and tricks to evaluate SQL code and improve it.
