Hi, I'm tuning some queries and the developers seem to be quite fond of nesting views in views in ... To get a better understanding of all tables involved I would like to see the expanded statement, where the referenced views are replaced with their actual text. In 12c there is apparently a procedure for this, dbms_utility.expand_sql_text, which does exactly that. I thought there was also a way to do this in 11, but I can't remember how. Does someone know of a way to get the full, expanded, sql or the sql after all view merging and such?
