sql tuning adv never changes the SQL, it usually gives 3 types of recommendations: 1. add indexes 2. gather stats 3. profile: this is a bunch of hints giving the CBO more accurate stats about the SQL (e.g. cardinalities of some columns, ....) It may give advices of type 1 and 3, and you can choose to implement either or all of the advices that it gives. rgds On 9/20/07, Dhimant Patel <drp4kri@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hi All, > > *In short: * > Under 10g grid control, after running sql tuning advisor, I could see only > old and new explain plans and a button with "Implement" but no description > of > what tuning advisor is going to do in order to ac hive new explain plan.
