Procedures/Functions

display

function display returns dbms_xplan_type_table
 (
 table_name                         in                 varchar2 default,
 statement_id                       in                 varchar2 default,
 format                             in                 varchar2 default,
 filter_preds                       in                 varchar2 default
);
It seems as though display chooses the rows with the highest plan_id in the plan_table to display a plan.

 format                             in                 varchar2        ,
