Quest SQL Optimizer for IBM® DB2® LUW maximizes SQL performance by automating the manual, time-intensive and uncertain process of ensuring that SQL statements are performing as fast as possible. SQL Optimizer analyzes, rewrites, and evaluates SQL statements within multiple database objects, files, or SQL statements captured by the DB2 Event Monitor. With SQL Optimizer, you can analyze and optimize all your problem SQL from multiple sources. SQL Optimizer also provides you a complete index optimization and plan change analysis solution, from index recommendations to simulated index impact analysis, through comparison of multiple SQL access plans.

SQL Optimizer provides you with the following main modules.

SQL Optimizer (including SQL Rewrite and Generate Indexes functions)

SQL Formatter

Database Explorer

SQL Scanner

SQL Inspector

SQL Repository

Index Impact Analyzer

Index Usage Analyzer

The Access Plan tab in the SQL Optimizer window uses the following panes to display access plan details for the currently selected alternative and information about the objects that the alternative syntax accesses:

Access Plan

Object Statistics

Index Statistics

Column Statistics

Column Values Distribution Statistics

Regenerate Virtual Index Sets

You can rerun the Generate Indexes function to obtain the latest index recommendations.

Note: This process will clear all existing SQL and index-set alternative in this SQL Optimizer session.

To regenerate virtual index sets

Right-click within any of the statistics panes, and select Recommend Virtual Indexes.

Create Your Own Virtual Index Sets

You can add your own index sets to this SQL Optimizer session.

To create your own virtual index sets

Right-click within any of the statistics panes, and select Create Virtual Indexes.

Display or Hide Panes

Use the pane-control buttons to reorganize the panes.

Access Plan

ClosedView the Access Plan pane

The access plan is a combination of steps the DB2 LUW database optimizer chooses to execute a SQL statement. Each node represents how the database optimizer will physically retrieve rows of data from the database or how the data is prepared. By examining the access plan, you can see exactly how the database executes your SQL statement.

Right-click Menu

The Access Plan pane contains a right-click menu that allows you to perform the following functions:

Function

Description

Print

Sends the access plan in its current view to the printer, to display on the screen (print preview), or to a file.

Copy

Copies the access plan to the clipboard.

View Plan

Changes how the access plan is displayed.

Animated Plan Steps

Highlights one-by-one the access plan steps.

Plan Options

Opens the Access Plan Options window so you can select the specific detailed information that is displayed in the access plan. You can also choose to display specific information in individual columns.

Get Help on plan_step

Displays the help text for the currently selected step in the access plan.

Help on Access Plan

Opens online help for the access plan.

Table Statistics Pane

ClosedView the Object Statistics pane

The Object Statistics pane is displayed on the Access Plan tab in the SQL Optimizer window. It lists information for each table, view, or alias referenced in the access plan. If the operation in the selected access plan step accesses a specific object, this object is automatically highlighted in the Table Statistics pane. You can do the following in this pane:

  • Select an object in this pane to view statistics about its indexes and columns (in the Index and Column Statistics panes, respectively).

  • Right-click a specific object to update its catalog statistics.

Value

Description

Hash on partition key

ClosedVolatile

The indicator showing whether the table or view has been declared volatile. A volatile table is a table whose contents vary greatly--from empty to large--at any point in time. To generate the access plan for a volatile table, DB2's SQL optimizer tends not to rely on existing table statistics and, therefore, often uses an index scan instead of a table scan. Values for this detail include:

Value

Description

Cardinality of table is volatile

Table is volatile

blank
