EXPLAIN is a Teradata extension to the ANSI SQL:2011 standard.

Other SQL dialects support similar non‑ANSI standard statements with names such as the following:

  • EXPLAIN PLAN
  • To EXPLAIN a request, you must have the permissions that are required to execute that request.

    The Optimizer processes an explained request the same as the request would be processed without being modified by the EXPLAIN, except for actually executing the SQL within the request.
