举例一个比较好的表连接的执行计划

SQL var loc varchar2(30)SQL exec :loc:=South San FranciscoPL/SQL procedure successfully completed.SQL SELECT 2 emp.last_name,emp.first_name,j.job_title,d.department_name,l.city,l.state_province,l.postal_code,l.street_address, 3 emp.email,e

SQL> var loc varchar2(30)
SQL> exec :loc:='South San Francisco'

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> SELECT 
  2  emp.last_name,emp.first_name,j.job_title,d.department_name,l.city,l.state_province,l.postal_code,l.street_address,
  3  emp.email,emp.phone_number,emp.hire_date,emp.salary,mgr.last_name
  4  from hr.employees emp,hr.employees mgr,hr.departments d,hr.locations
  5  l,hr.jobs j
  6  where l.city =:loc
  7  and emp.manager_id=mgr.employee_id
  8  and emp.department_id=d.department_id
  9  and d.location_id=l.location_id
 10  and emp.job_id=j.job_id;
--每次都是以嵌套循环来完成整个的查询流程，这就是一个最好的执行计划
