This session is about some free small scripts you can execute from SQL*Plus, which provide you with some basics about a SQL statement, like the Execution Plan from multiple child cursors, their SQL Monitor report if your site has the Tuning Pack, and some useful Active Session History (ASH) summaries for your SQL if your site has the Diagnostics Pack. And if you have neither the Tuning nor the Diagnostics Pack then you may want to learn about some alternatives to collect important performance metrics.
