Comparing Multiple Execution Plans Using Bulk Compare
Multiple execution plans can be compared using Bulk Compare, which can be invoked through the command line.
To compare multiple execution plans using Bulk Compare, use the following command:
VEComp -bc <count of QCDs> [-m] <Online Plan description1 Online Plan description2
[Online Plan description3...] > -f <output file name>
Count of QCDs: Number of online plan descriptions involved in Bulk Compare.
The first plan specified in the command is the base plan for comparison.
Table 51 describes the commands for comparing multiple execution plans using the Bulk Compare feature.
