Abstract
The Active Workload Repository (AWR) and SQL trace files both capture performance-relevant data on SQL and PL/SQL execution. It is undocumented that both data sources may be linked to answer questions that frequently arise during investigations of performance problems. By integrating SQL trace data with AWR, it is possible to find out whether different execution plans were used for a particular statement and at what time. Furthermore, contrary to EXPLAIN PLAN, the AWR is a reliable source for execution plans when plans for certain statements are absent from SQL trace files.
