Explain text differences of execution plans can be accessed through the command line.
-
To display Explain text differences, use the following command:
VEComp -ec <Execution Plan1 [Execution Plan2...]>
The first plan specified in the command is the base plan for comparison.
Example Commands for Explain Text of Execution Plans
The following table describes the commands for displaying differences using Explain text.
