To generate an EXPLAIN for an SQL request, add the word “EXPLAIN” at the beginning of the request.
For example, the following SQL performs an EXPLAIN on a SELECT statement:
EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM Employee;
If you want a dynamic request plan instead, issue DYNAMIC EXPLAIN request. For example,
DYNAMIC EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM Employee;
