An Explain Plan is a tool that you can use to have Oracle
explain to you how it plans on executing your query.

ex:-
SQL> set autotrace on explain
SQL> select * from emp;

Execution Plan

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost
(%CPU)| Time |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 14 | 518 | 3
(0)| 00:00:01 |
| 1 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| EMP | 14 | 518 | 3
(0)| 00:00:01 |
