Resolution Date 2021-08-03

Background

The time spent in computing column statistics was previously included in the COMPILE / EXECUTE part of a pipeline in the public profiling tables.

Improvement

The profiling tables

  • EXA_DBA_PROFILE_LAST_DAY
  • EXA_USER_PROFILE_LAST_DAY
  • EXA_DBA_PROFILE_RUNNING
  • EXA_USER_PROFILE_RUNNING

now show an additional profiling part COLUMN STATISTICS, which indicates that the database is computing statistics on a column for internal optimization. When consecutive, these parts are combined by the table with the remarks field having a comma-separated list of the columns over which statistics were computed.
