How do I save the explain plan presented in the Explain Plan window as a text file? I sometimes need to send these to other developers or DBAs. There doesn't seen to be an equivalent to the Eport Query Results button found on the SQL Window.
You can right-click on the query plan and select Copy. This copies the text with tab-delimited columns to the clipboard, which can subsequently be pasted in a text editor, word processor, e-mail program, or spreadsheet application.
