Syntax Elements

HostIdIn

Logical ID of a host (or client) with sessions logged on.

A value of -1 indicates all hosts.

SessionNoIn

Session number of the SQL to monitor.

RunVprocNo

PE vproc number where the session runs.

HostId

Logical host ID associated with a PE or session. For a PE, HostId identifies one of the hosts or LANs associated with the described PE. For a session, the combination of a host ID and a session number uniquely identifies a user session on the system.

This value is NULL for AMPs. A value of zero represents the Supervisor window.

SessionNo

Number of the current session. Together with a given host ID, a session number uniquely identifies a session on the database system. This value is assigned by the host (or client) at logon time.

DynamicPlan

Plan type:

• 0 = Static plan
• 1 = Dynamic plan

For more information on static and dynamic explanations of a request, see the EXPLAIN request modifier in Teradata Vantage™ - SQL Data Manipulation Language, B035-1146 or Teradata Vantage™ - SQL Request and Transaction Processing, B035-1142.

PartialSteps

Possible values:

• 0 = All steps are returned
• 1 = Partial plan or no plan is returned

  If a partial plan is returned, this indicates the steps for the final plan fragment of the dynamic explanation of the request has not yet been generated.

  If no plan is returned, this indicates the request has been throttled and is in the delay queue.

A value 1 cannot occur for a static plan.

For more information on static and dynamic explanations of a request, see Teradata Vantage™ - SQL Data Manipulation Language, B035-1146 or Teradata Vantage™ - SQL Request and Transaction Processing, B035-1142.

NumOfSteps

Number of steps in the description text in the third statement of the response.

Plan	DynamicPlan Field Value	PartialSteps Field Value	NumOfSteps
Static	0		Number of steps for plan.
Complete dynamic	1	0	Number of steps for plan.
Partial dynamic	1	1	Number of steps generated.

If a request with a partial dynamic plan has been throttled and is in the delay queue (that is, no rows are returned in response to the third statement), NumOfSteps is zero.

For more information, see the MONITOR SQL DynamicPlan and PartialSteps fields.

CurLvl1StepNo

Number of the currently executing level 1 step. If parallel steps are executing, it is the number of the lowest executing step.

If this is a request with a dynamic plan that has been throttled and is in the delay queue (for example, when the NumOfSteps field value is zero and both the DynamicPlan are PartialSteps field values are 1), the CurLvl1StepNo field value is zero.

CurLvl2StepNo

Number of the currently executing step. If parallel steps are executing, it is the number of the highest executing step. If only one step is executing, CurLvl1StepNo and CurLvl2StepNo are identical.

If this is a request with a dynamic plan that has been throttled and is in the delay queue (for example, when the NumOfSteps field value is zero and both the DynamicPlan are PartialSteps field values are 1), the CurLvl2StepNo field value is 1.

If only one step is executing, CurLvl1StepNo and CurLvl2StepNo are identical.

ZoneId

The unique identifier of the zone.

SPName

The outer stored procedure name, if a stored procedure is being executed.

NULL is returned in indicator mode if no stored procedure is being executed.

SPDName

This is the owner database name of the outer stored procedure if a stored procedure is being executed.

NULL is returned in indicator mode if no stored procedure is being executed.

DefaultDBName

This field returns the default database name of the session at the start of the non-stored procedure request. For stored procedures, it returns the default database name of the session when the stored procedure was compiled.

Usage Notes

This table function is only supported in Constant Mode.

If MONITOR SQL processing is not completed within the timeout interval, then an error is returned to the client application. When a MONITOR SQL request is timed out, the processing continues internally to its completion. If the client application submits a new MONITOR SQL request for the same timed out target session while the previous timed out one is still being processed, then an error is returned. The timeout interval can be set in the DBS Control field, PMPC_TimeoutSecs. The default timeout interval is 60 seconds. If the PMPC_TimeoutSecs field is set to zero, the MONITOR SQL timeout request will be disabled and no timeout will occur. For more information on the PMPC_TimeoutSecs field, see Teradata Vantage™ - Database Utilities, B035-1102.

The MonitorSQLCurrentStep function provides similar functionality to the PMPC MONITOR SQL request. For information about this interface, see MONITOR SQL.
