SQL statistics

Home > Select Project > STAT/REPORT > SQL Statistics

Statistics are created based on the SQL execution count, execution time, and waiting time within the active sessions collected by the agent, and a list of top SQLs for the search period is provided. It provides a basis for analyzing frequently performed SQL performance through the average and maximum execution time.

For quick performance analysis, you can search top SQLs for each frequently analyzed category (DB, application, user, host). The main search criteria are as follows:

  • execute count: Execution count of the SQL

  • elapse sum (sec): Total execution time (secs) of the SQL

  • elapse avg (sec): Average execution time (sec) of the SQL. It is the result of elapse sum/execute count.

  • elapse max (sec): Maximum execution time (sec) of the SQL

  • elapse wait (sec): Total waiting time (sec) of the SQL

  • instance: Instance name

Info

The SQL statistics function creates statistics based on the SQL that excludes literal values.
