Analytical Ecosystem

The Explain tab displays an abbreviated version of the Step statistics and Explain text that result from an Explain request in an SQL session and allows you to export Explain data. The tab is available only when a query meets certain thresholds established by the Teradata Viewpoint Administrator. The information is read-only. Each Explain step is uniquely identified with a number, where the background color of the number box indicates status.

If a query uses incremental planning, appears with two gray bars next to the running steps, indicating that the total number of steps can change as additional steps are generated. When all steps are generated, appears with three black bars next to the completed steps.

  • Completed steps are at the top of the list and indicated by a black number box.
