The Largest Queries category shows a list of up to 15 queries that generated the largest resultsets (row count).
The columns provide information about each query including:
- Id—The identifier number allocated to the query connection. The queries are numbered in order (according to the age of the query connection—the oldest connections have the lowest numbers).
- Time—The time at which the data that is specified in the SQL query was requested.
- Src—The number of different database tables being used by the connection.
- SQL—The SQL query.
- Parse—The time taken to interpret (parse) the SQL query.
- Verify—The time taken to check that the SQL query is valid.
- Optimize—The time taken to make the SQL query more efficient (where possible).
- Execute—The time taken to execute the SQL query. This is performed after the Parse, Verify, and Optimize operations.
- Exec Count—The number of times the query was executed.
- Rows—The number of rows returned by the query.
- Access Paths—The type of optimization that has been used. When the SQL query is requesting a suitable amount of data, the Access Paths entry will be one of the following:
- Non-Unique by Column
- Unique by Column
- Non-Unique by Value
- Unique by Value
However, if the SQL query is requesting an excessive amount of data, the Access Paths may be:
- Scan—Indicates an inefficient SQL query. It places a high load on the server as it does not define a time range or specific items in the database.
- Range—Indicates an inefficient SQL query. It places a high load on the server as it defines a time range, but does not define specific items in the database.
The Range status is suitable for SQL queries that request data from the Event Journal.
