The Execution Plan view displays execution plans for a specified SQL statement.
Depending on how you have set the preferences for viewing execution plans, the Execution Plan view shows a graphic execution plan or text execution plan with or without optimizer statistics.
Execution plans and corresponding optimizer statistics are shown in separate panes of the Execution Plan view. For a graphic execution plan, optimizer statistics are shown for each node. To see the statistics for a node, select the node in the graphic execution plan pane of the Execution Plan view.
