Have you set the PLAN_TABLE

Go to View->Options->Oracle->General in TOAD to determine whether you set the plan_table

Alternatively,
SET AUTOTRACE ON, a SQL Plus command.

Ever heard of google.com?
The third hit explains it in Google's overview page..
Being lazy can be a good thing for developers, but this is waay waay too far.

balaji,

What's your intension understand the EXPLAIN PLAN for your query or doing research on what are the possibilities to get the Explain Plan.

I don't know why are you so keen about the function key, Concentrate on the solution.

By the way google.com is very good if you haven't heard of, I almost gave you the solution but still want to try then please go ahead

Getting an execution plan in Toad is pretty straightforward.

In the editor, put your cursor on the statement you want explained. Then, either use the Ambulance button on the toolbar, or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+E.

The plan will show in the 'Explain Plan' tab below, next to the data grid.

I'm pretty sure SQL Developer borrowed the same keyboard shortcut Smile

There is a blog on ToadWorld.com customizing the look and feel (and content) of explain plans in Toad, do a Google on 'Customizing Data explain toadworld' to find it.

This is what the answer i was expecting ie the keyboard shortcut (ctrl+E). Earlier sometimes back i was using it and cannot remember now.

I searched in Google for my answer but was not able to find out.

Thanks for your answer.

How on earth could finding the shortcut key to generate an explain plan in TOAD be considered urgent?

@balaji1482, you know, there's that "Help" thing (available in TOAD too) which gets open once you press the F1 key (which is in many / most applications mapped to "Help").

Then there's the "Search" tab. You are (actually, were) supposed to put "explain plan" in there and press <Enter>. Choose the very first topic which talks about "Explain plan". There's all about the ambulance icon, as well as <Ctrl + E>.

The whole process lasted half a minute (for me), and almost 4 (four) hours for you. One doesn't have to be /forum/fa/5851/0/

in order to find such information.

@Littlefoot,

I don't have TOAD (Currently...According to Michel's suggestion Smile

Hi Frank and ashoka_bl! You know, this forum could do without your "holier than thou" replies. If you're not here to help then why don't you both piss off.

Considering this being your first and only contribution to this forum so far, I would say this is a typical case of the pot calling us black..

I agree and think the original poster showed grace and humility in his/her replies. All to often when I go search for help after working hard for an answer I find these sort mean arrogant time wasting unnecessary replies. Readers please indulge my time waisting off topic comments.

I'm with you. I don't understand the need to belittle people asking for help. If you don't like the question, then leave it alone.

Maybe because this people is just little.
You just come here once and think you are able to judge other.
Maybe if you'd answer 300 times to one that seems to learn and understand nothing you will also post some sarcastic sentences.

What's the point to register just to post this in a 2 years old topic? You should better try to find a question you can answer and help instead of "wasting our time with off topic comment".

Michel
