NUMBER
Fixed amount of memory required during the execution of this child
cursor
SORTS
NUMBER
The number of sorts that was done for this child cursor

NUMBER
1 if context heap is loaded, 0 otherwise
OPEN_VERSIONS
NUMBER
1 if the child cursor is locked, 0 otherwise

The total number of rows the parsed SQL statement returns
COMMAND_TYPE
NUMBER
