Yes- After your explain plan and then upon executing the statement, dynamic
sampling could easily occur and calculate a better execution plan, utilizing it
for the actual execution than it did for the explain plan.
A quick trace of the session would capture the statement, (You are looking for
OPT_DYN statement for one or more tables involved..) or if unable to reproduce,
you could look in the SQL history, either through AWR or through OEM.
Hope this helps,
Kellyn

Suppose I am using the same session to run both. Could it be different?
Thanks,

Changes in explain plan and real execution plan depends on the env differences
between the sessions in which you are explain planning and the one in which you
are executing the statement. Sometimes app changes session level parameters at
login time which can change execution plan.

Hi, all:
I have a question about the explain plan.
Under what conditions, could the plan I get out of ‘explain plan’ differ from
what I get from running the sql statement?
Suppose the database has no change during I ran ‘explain plan’ and run the sql
– I mean, no ddl and dml – You would think this database is static. Or the time
gap between I run ‘explain plan’ and run sql statement is too narrow to allow
any change (ideal environment). No bind variable peeking because
_optim_peek_user_binds is set to FALSE.
Any idea? Thanks in advance.
Lei
