To summarize all the types of statements being executed, you can query the QUERY_PROFILES system table.
Example:
I’d like to view a count of each statement type across my cluster since the first of the month.
dbadmin=> SELECT query_type,
dbadmin-> COUNT(*)
dbadmin-> FROM query_profiles
dbadmin-> WHERE TRUNC(query_start::TIMESTAMP) >= DATE_TRUNC('MONTH', SYSDATE)
dbadmin-> GROUP BY 1
dbadmin-> ORDER BY 1;
query_type | COUNT
-------------+---------
DDL | 195
LOAD | 812
QUERY | 512561
SET | 924530
SHOW | 58
TRANSACTION | 112
TRUNCATE | 52
UTILITY | 140

I've had the privilege of working with many database technologies in my career. But after being introduced to Vertica in May of 2011 as a client, I was hooked on the new technology after witnessing a query run in milliseconds that had previously ran for hours on the legacy database we had in place. It was then that I knew I wanted to eventually join the Vertica team, and 4 years later I did! I am currently a Vertica evangelist and am ready to help you get on board! Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you have about Vertica and make sure to follow my Vertica Quick Tips!
