Getting your SQL Statement's SQL_ID

 SQL*Plus now can provide you the SQL_ID of the last statement executed in your own session with SET FEEDBACK SQL_ID.

A quick demo :

SQL> set feedback on sql_id
SQL> select count(*) from my_target where factory='SYS';

  COUNT(*)
----------
     52217

1 row selected.

SQL_ID: g1mk14hdxc1ww
SQL> select * from table(dbms_xplan.display_cursor('g1mk14hdxc1ww'));

PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SQL_ID  g1mk14hdxc1ww, child number 0
-------------------------------------
select count(*) from my_target where factory='SYS'

Plan hash value: 1690349505

After I executed my query against the "my_target" table, SQL*Plus provided my the SQL_ID ("g1mk14hdxc1ww").  I could then immediately get the Execution Plan for the statement, without having to query for the SQL_ID in V$SQL or V$SQLAREA.
