RowConstructor is a specialized operator that creates a virtual row for use as the input to other algorithms. RowConstructor is used in the following two ways:
With an INSERT ... VALUES statement, the expressions referenced in the VALUES clause (typically literal constants and/or host variables) form a virtual row to be inserted. In this case, a row constructor appears in the graphical plan underneath an INSERT.
Direct or indirect references to the system table SYS.DUMMY are transformed automatically to use RowConstructor, replacing the need for a table scan of SYS.DUMMY, and eliminating the need to latch the (single) page of the DUMMY table.
With short or long text plans, the plan string continues to contain a reference to the table SYS.DUMMY, even though RowConstructor was used instead of performing a table scan of SYS.DUMMY.
