Jul 15, 2015 at 18:33 comment added Jacobm001 @JustinCave: Woops... Should have paid more attention to what I allowed spell check to replace. I meant to say autotrace, which is a tool built into SQL Developer just like explain.

Originally typed traceroute instead of autotrace
Jul 15, 2015 at 18:29 comment added Justin Cave What "traceroute" are you using? Normally, traceroute is an application that tracks network hops not something dealing with query plans. Are you comparing actual vs. estimated query plans? Or is this some third party utility with an unfortunately confusing name? As an aside, I would not say that B is obviously more efficient than A. It's certainly possible that's the case. But a cost that is too low is just as likely to indicate a problematic query plan as a cost that is too high.
