Input Parameter Values

SQL Optimizer > Optimized SQL > Input Parameter Values

The SQL Optimizer identifies variables defined within a SQL statement and highlights them in red in the SQL Optimizer window. When the test run process begins, the SQL Optimizer prompts you to enter a value for the variable and to select the data type from a list through the Parameters window.

Note: The value and data type entered on the Parameters window have a direct affect of the run time and query plan retrieved.

 

Analyze Time and Statistics Results

SQL Optimizer > Optimized SQL > Analyze Time and Statistics Results

The results from the Run for All Records, the Run for First Record, and the Batch Run are placed in the bottom Pane of the SQL Optimizer window for you to analyze and pick the SQL statement that is the best performing in your database environment. These results are displayed in the Time, Statistics, and Charts tab.

 

Analyze Run Time Results

SQL Optimizer > Optimized SQL > Analyze Run Time Results

Scenario Name

The Optimization process numbers the SQL alternatives according to the Estimated I/O cost.

Estimated I/O cost

This is a cost estimation calculated by Adaptive Server. It is only an estimation and should not be used to determine the best performing SQL.

AP Compatibility

This shows the SQL statements that have abstract plans that are compatible with the original SQL statement.

Elapsed Time (All Records and First Record)

The execution time (in clock time) that it takes the SQL statement to select all records or the first record. This figure may include time that Adaptive Server spent on processing other tasks or waiting for disk or network I/O to complete. This is the accumulative run time for the SQL statement. The individual values for the Elapsed Time can be view by clicking All Records or First Record on the top right pane of the SQL Optimizer window.

Times of Improvement (All Records and First Record)

If the original SQL statement run time is available, the Times of Improvement indicates how much faster the alternative SQL is than the original SQL.

CPU Time (All Records and First Record)

The CPU Time is accumulative total for the CPU time to execute the SQL statement. The individual values for the CPU time can be view by clicking All Records or First Record on the top right pane of the SQL Optimizer window.

Actual I/O Cost (All Records and First Record)

The Actual I/O Cost is a calculation from Adapter Server after the SQL statement is executed in the Batch Run or the Run Time function.

Records (All Records and First Record)

The Records column shows the number of records processed by the SQL statement. This number should be constant. It is an indication that the alternative SQL statements are semantically equivalent to the original SQL statement.

Remarks

Information from the Batch Run is included in this column. It includes:

  • If the SQL was terminated by the termination criteria.

  • If the SQL was run more than once.

  • If a database error occurred.

Note: Estimated I/O cost, All Records Actual I/O Cost and First Record Actual I/O Cost are not available for logon users without sa_role privileges or with the "allow resource limits" configuration parameter turned off for the Adaptive Server. To retrieve the Estimated I/O Cost, All Records Actual I/O Cost, and First Record Actual I/O Cost estimations, you should either grant yourself sa_role, logon as another user with sa_role privileges, or turn on the "allow resource limits" parameter:

sp_configure "allow resource limits", 1

Analyze Statistics Results

SQL Optimizer > Optimized SQL > Analyze Statistics Results

The Statistics tab of the Run Time pane in the SQL Optimizer window shows the statistics the accumulative totals for the CPU Time, Scan Count, Logical Reads, Physical Reads, and APF I/Os from the execution of the SQL statement. To see the individual values for the statistics by table, click All Records or First Record on the top right pane or the Statistics tab at the bottom of the SQL Optimizer window.

For more information about this statistics see the Adaptive Server Performance Tuning: Monitor and Analyzing manual, Chapter 4.

Statistics

(All Records and First Record)

Description

Elapsed Time

The execution time (in clock time) that it takes the SQL statement to select all records or the first record. This figure may include time that Adaptive Server spent on processing other tasks or waiting for disk or network I/O to complete. This is the accumulative run time for the SQL statement. The individual values for the Elapsed Time can be view by clicking All Records or First Record on the top right pane of the SQL Optimizer window.

CPU Time

The CPU Time is accumulative total for the CPU time to execute the SQL statement. The individual values for the CPU time can be view by clicking All Records or First Record on the top right pane of the SQL Optimizer window.

Actual I/O Cost

This Actual I/O Cost is a calculate combining the Logical and Physical I/O statistics after it was executed in the Batch Run or the Run Time function.

Writes

The Writes is the total number of buffers written to the disk.

Scan Count

The Scan Count represents the number of times a query accessed a particular table.

Logical Reads

The Logical Reads represents the accumulative total for logical read for each table and index used in the SQL statement.

Physical Reads

The Physical Reads represents the accumulative total for logical read for each table and index used in the SQL statement. 

APF IOs used

The APF (Asynchronous-PreFetch) IOs used is the I/O the server does in advance anticipating which pages will need to be read next, so that the pages will be in cache when the process actually tries to access them.
