Run time can be generated for the original and optimized SQL statements to help you choose the best performing SQL statement that is most suitable for your application. All run times are calculated to the nearest milliseconds in format HH:MM:SS.MS. The actual execution time of each SQL statement can be obtained by executing the Run for First Record, Run for All Records and Batch Run functions.
The calculation of the run time is based on the CPU time of the database server. Thus network traffic is excluded from the time.
If you attempt to execute the SQL statement more than once, you will notice a slight fluctuation in the run time. This fluctuation is due to data cache in the memory and other processes on the CPU and database server. Therefore, for a more stable result, it is advisable to repeat the test run process more than once.
For SQL statements embedded in the cursor, the run time is obtained by creating a stored procedure, executing it, and then dropping it.
Note: For UPDATE, INSERT and DELETE SQL statements, while retrieving the run time and run result you may encounter the following Adaptive Server error message:
Can't allocate space for object 'syslogs' in database 'database_name' because the 'logsegment' segment is full. If you ran out of space in syslogs, dump the transaction log. Otherwise, use ALTER DATABASE or sp_extendsegment to increase the size of the segment
This is due to the lack of space in system table (syslogs), in which all changes to the database are recorded. Empty the transaction log in the database and re-execute. Use the following command in the SQL Workshop module:
DUMP TRANSACTION database_name WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY
