Easier Execution Plans in Oracle SQL Developer
SQL tuning can be fun. The database gives us MANY things to help with this. There is even a nice set of views that contain everything we need to know about our SQL and their exectution plans.

Explain Plan and Autotrace Enhancements in Oracle SQL Developer 4
“Explain Plans are useless.” Yikes. Really? Don’t we spend all day looking at execution plans? To clarify, I would say that explain plans could be useless.
