EXPLAIN DELETE FROM rls_tbl WHERE col1=2;
The system returns this EXPLAIN text.
*** Help information returned. 10 rows. *** Total elapsed time was 1 second. Explanation ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) First, we do a single-AMP DELETE from RS.rls_tbl by way of the primary index "RS.rls_tbl.col1 = 2" with a residual condition of ( "((SYSLIB.DELETELEVEL (RS.rls_tbl.levels ))= 'T') AND (((SYSLIB.SELECTLEVEL (2, RS.rls_tbl.levels ))= 'T') AND (((SYSLIB.DELETECATEGORIES (RS.rls_tbl.categories ))= 'T') AND ((SYSLIB.SELECTCATEGORIES ('90000000'XB, RS.rls_tbl.categories ))= 'T')))"). The size is estimated with no confidence to be 2 rows. The estimated time for this step is 0.01 seconds. -> No rows are returned to the user as the result of statement 1. The total estimated time is 0.01 seconds.
