Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-4587:
--------------------------------------

Thanks for the quick response, Nirmal. Concerning (2): The XPLAIN machinery 
fits a common pattern of log monitoring: you start recording, you run some 
experiments, you end recording, you analyze the results. In this pattern, it is 
common to want to analyze all of the experiments which were recorded. I'm not 
following your question about naming the generated files. I was hoping that all 
of the recorded plans would go into a single output file. Thanks.

> I think it would be great to see some work in the area of tools for helping
> with the analysis of complex query execution. Quite frequently, users of
> Derby have trouble comprehending (a) how their query is being translated
> into a query plan by the optimizer, and (b) what the execution-time resource
> usage of the various parts of the query is.
> There are low-level features in Derby which capture this information and
> record it, such as logQueryPlan, and the XPLAIN tables, but there is a lot
> of opportunity for designing higher-level tools which can process the query
> plan and execution statistics information and present it in a more
> comprehensible fashion.
