There are two ways to view the execution plan in Oracle.

Generate an execution plan using the EXPLAIN PLAN statement.

EXPLAIN PLAN FOR
SELECT * FROM table_name;

SELECT * FROM TABLE(DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY);

After executing the above statement, the execution plan for the query will be generated and displayed.

2. Use the DBMS_XPLAN package to view the execution plan.

SELECT * FROM TABLE(DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY_CURSOR);

This will display the execution plan of the most recent query. You can also specify the SQL_ID parameter to view the execution plan of a specific query.

Please note that the content displayed in the execution plan may vary depending on the Oracle version and configuration.
