Interpreting an SQL Trace file

All,

Below is output from an SQL Trace of a query in one of our batch jobs. How do I interpret the EXPLAIN PLAN output? Why were there 93000 rows accessed by ROWID, but only one accessed during the UPDATE. We are using Oracle 7.1.6 on HP-UX.

In the past, I've posted quite a few questions on interpreting SQL Trace output. How much of the problems I am having interpreting the output stem from using an older version of Oracle, where the trace facility, or at least TKPROF might have some bugs? Would I perhaps get better results upgrading to Oracle 7.3? Just wondering...

Please email me as well as responding to the newsgroup.

Thanks,
Brian
