Profiling Single Statements

To profile a single statement, prefix it with PROFILE. You can profile a query (SELECT) statement, or any DML statement such as INSERT, UPDATE, COPY, and MERGE. The statement returns with a profile summary: 

  • Profile identifiers transaction_id and statement_id
  • Initiator memory for the query
  • Total memory required

For example:

=> PROFILE SELECT customer_name, annual_income FROM public.customer_dimension
   WHERE (customer_gender, annual_income) IN (SELECT customer_gender, MAX(annual_income)
   FROM public.customer_dimension GROUP BY customer_gender);NOTICE 4788:  Statement is being profiled
HINT:  Select * from v_monitor.execution_engine_profiles where transaction_id=45035996274760535 and statement_id=1;
NOTICE 3557:  Initiator memory for query: [on pool general: 2783428 KB, minimum: 2312914 KB]
NOTICE 5077:  Total memory required by query: [2783428 KB]

You can use the profile identifiers transaction_id and statement_id to obtain detailed profile information for this query from system tables EXECUTION_ENGINE_PROFILES and QUERY_PLAN_PROFILES. You can also use these identifiers to obtain resource consumption data from system table QUERY_CONSUMPTION.

For example:

=> SELECT path_id, path_line::VARCHAR(68), running_time FROM v_monitor.query_plan_profiles  
    WHERE transaction_id=45035996274760535 AND statement_id=1 ORDER BY path_id, path_line_index;
