Hi Listers,
      I have one doubt regarding optimizer plan. would u please rectify them.
Lets say I have a query like this

select * from foo where foo100=:b1 order by foodate;


The plan might be like this

Operation                                            Step#            Cost      
  
Select Statement                                   4                    24      
      
    Sort (order by)                                    3                   24
        foo table access                             2                   22
          fooidx index (range scan)              1                     1


Now what would be the cost of this plan. would it be the aggregate of all four 
operations that is 24+24+22+1=71 or would it be just of first operation i.e. 24 
or what? Please clarify this. thanks
regards,
Fahd
