Importing Directed Queries

After you determine which exported query plans you wish to use in the current database, you import them with IMPORT_DIRECTED_QUERIES. You supply this function with the name of the export file that you created with EXPORT_DIRECTED_QUERIES, and the names of directed queries you wish to import. For example:

=> SELECT IMPORT_DIRECTED_QUERIES('/home/dbadmin/outputQueries','FindEmployeesBoston');
                                    IMPORT_DIRECTED_QUERIES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 1 directed queries successfully imported.
To activate a query named 'my_query1':
=>ACTIVATE DIRECTED QUERY 'my_query1';

(1 row)

After importing the desired directed queries, you must activate them with ACTIVATE DIRECTED QUERY before you can use them to create query plans.
