Cunning solution.
Thanks for the reference.

thank you for the link and the information. That’s what I was looking for.

not beeing able to create, this, I just did it like this manually and it worked on a 2 node cluster (with inst_id, slq_id and childnmber inserted)

select * from table(dbms_xplan.display(‘gv$sql_plan_statistics_all’, null, null,
‘inst_id=2 and sql_id=”…….” and CHILD_NUMBER=0′));

thank you for your comment. I think it would be helpful if there was an additional node parameter for display_cursor.

thanks – much appreciated.

a somewhat related question: does dbms_xplan.display_cursor work with RAC? With event 10046 I see an access on v$sql (and not gv$sql) when using dbms_xplan.display_cursor on a non-RAC-DB:

select /* EXEC_FROM_DBMS_XPLAN */ case when upper(sql_text) like 
  '%DBMS_XPLAN%' then 0 else 1 end case, SQL_ID, child_number 
from
 v$sql where SQL_ID ='8szmwam7fysa3' and child_number =0

...

Parsing user id: 68     (recursive depth: 1)

Rows     Row Source Operation
-------  ---------------------------------------------------
      1  FIXED TABLE FIXED INDEX X$KGLCURSOR_CHILD (ind:2) (cr=0 pr=0 pw=0 time=0 us cost=0 size=536 card=1)

On a RAC DB (without the option to create a sql_trace) I get no result from dbms_xplan.display_cursor for a given sql_id/child_number and no result from v$sql_plan, but when I ask gv$sql_plan I see some lines:

select * 
  from table(dbms_xplan.display_cursor(sql_id => '13x0qwkc4xrfv', cursor_child_no=>1));

PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SQL_ID: 13x0qwkc4xrfv, child number: 1 cannot be found

select count(*) 
  from v$sql_plan
 where sql_id = '13x0qwkc4xrfv' 
   and child_number = 1;

  COUNT(*)
----------
         0

select count(*) 
  from gv$sql_plan
 where sql_id = '13x0qwkc4xrfv' 
   and child_number = 1;

  COUNT(*)
----------
         4

In Morgan’s Library (http://www.morganslibrary.org/reference/pkgs/dbms_xplan.html#dxdc) I find for “display_cursor” the description “Display from GV$SQL_PLAN (or GV$SQL_PLAN_STATISTICS_ALL)” – but the documentation (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28419/d_xplan.htm#CACFJGHG) says “The table function DISPLAY_CURSOR requires to have select privileges on the following fixed views: V$SQL_PLAN, V$SESSION and V$SQL_PLAN_STATISTICS_ALL”.

Of course if I am lucky and on the appropriate node I get my results – but is this a limitation of dbms_xplan.display_cursor or do I miss an important point?

Factly,when we troubleshooting,we should find the sql_id and child_number,then get exection plan by query:

select * from table(dbms_xplan.display_cursor('sql_id',sql_child_number,'ALL'));
