Test Run SQL Alternatives

Optimize SQL > Test Run SQL Alternatives

Note: This topic focuses on information that may be unfamiliar to you. It does not include all step and field descriptions.

Use SQL Optimizer to perform test runs on alternatives in order to view their run-time statistics. You can test run a single statement, selected statements, or all statements. Use the Test Run Single SQL function to retrieve run-time statistics for a single statement.

Use the Test Run function to perform multiple test runs on selected or all statements. These functions allow you to get run-time statistics for selected SQL or average run-time statistics for all SQL.

Note: SQL Optimizer automatically rolls back any changes made to the database if the SQL is an INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, or MERGE statement. This maintains the integrity of your data and provides that the initial data is the same for each SQL alternative so that the test is comparable.
