The Abstract Plan Manager provides a window for you to easily view, create, delete and modify your abstract plan groups.
In Adaptive Server version 15 and above, the abstract plan enables you to influence the optimization of a SQL statement without having to modify the SQL statement syntax. If you cannot change the source code that contains your SQL statement, you can use the abstract plan to force Adaptive Server to use a specific query plan for a SQL statement. This is particularly useful if you have third party applications where you do not have access to the source code.
Another use of the abstract plan is to protect the performance from changes to the database. When changes are made to a database, Adaptive Server may choose a different query plan for a SQL statement as a result of the changes. The abstract plans provide a means for system administrators and performance tuners to protect the overall performance of a SQL statement from these changes since the abstract plan will cause Adaptive Server to always choose the same query plan.
In the SQL Optimizer window, you can find alternate abstract plans in one of two ways while you are optimizing a SQL statement. First, you can optimize to find only the compatible alternative abstract plans. Second, you can optimize to find the semantically equivalent SQL statements with alternative query plans and then choose the ones with compatible alternative abstract plans.
