I work with Oracle 10g and New to Explain plan. I am using PL/SQL Developer 7 to connect to DB.

I have a SQL statements

SQL> Select * from emp where sal > 15000

When I see the plan table I find column COST , CARDINATILY, and BYTES.
with some values.

Please I would be greatful if someone would explain me HOW can One judge the performance for the query looking at these Columns.

What these column tell us.

Thanks and Regards
Saaz
