[jira] Commented: (DERBY-4587) Add tools for improved analysis and understanding of query plans and execution statistics

["Bryan Pendleton (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4587?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12895697#action_12895697 ] 

Bryan Pendleton commented on DERBY-4587:
----------------------------------------

I've committed the 9.7 patch to the Derby trunk as revision 982637.

I haven't marked this issue resolved just yet, as I thought we would leave it
open for a short while in case any issues arise during early use of the tool.

Thanks for the contribution of this tool to the Derby community, Nirmal!

I am hopeful that this tool provides an important basis for continued 
improvement in the query visualization tools for Derby.

> I think it would be great to see some work in the area of tools for helping
> with the analysis of complex query execution. Quite frequently, users of
> Derby have trouble comprehending (a) how their query is being translated
> into a query plan by the optimizer, and (b) what the execution-time resource
> usage of the various parts of the query is.
> There are low-level features in Derby which capture this information and
> record it, such as logQueryPlan, and the XPLAIN tables, but there is a lot
> of opportunity for designing higher-level tools which can process the query
> plan and execution statistics information and present it in a more
> comprehensible fashion.
